You also have more than
300 devices that you can choose from, and quite a few network operators.
Using the DeviceAnywhere Studio, you can connect to a remote device.
The Studio will take input from your desktop to the device and stream the
output screens from the device back to your desktop. This is a superb way
of testing on real devices at a fraction of the cost!
Bottomline: It's best to test with actual devices, but test on five different simulators
as well.
Hosting Your Mobile Site is Trivial
If you are wondering how to put up your site on a server to access it from
browser-based simulators and real devices, don't worry! You can host your mobile
site just like a normal site. Unlike the old days, you do not have to do any special
server setup. You can simply FTP the files to your server, and access them from a
mobile browser.
There is also a special top-level domain for mobile sites??”.mobi. You can buy that,
and also host your site with dotMobi (www.dotmobi.com). One recommendation is to
keep the mobile site URL short, so that users can easily type it.
http://m.sitename.com is better than http://www.sitename.com/mobile/ You
can also implement a browser detection routine on http://www.
