Mobile Testing

Testing your websites for mobile devices can be a nightmare.

Adobe Device Central has really improved since its conception. However, Adobe Device Central is being discontinued effective April 23, 2012. So as of cs6, no more device central. Device Central never really emulated the actual devices, it just ran JavaScript and did its best to mimic the desired mobile device.

I put together a basic testing environment here: http://tools.hyperspatial.com/web/devices/ - This triggers Media Queries because of the device width (iframe width) and will get you headed in the right direction, especially if you are doing responsive designs.

If you know of any other testing environments let me know. Ultimately you need to test on the actual devices themselves, but that requires owning some of them, which I don't.
