This is a cool tool. I miss the function to rotate the iPhone (90°), that would be a great Feature!

Cool idea. Good for visualization. Unfortunately, some sites don’t render exactly the same in this as they do on an actual iPhone or the iPhone Simulator, so it’s not great for QA testing. There’s no guarantee the site you’re developing and previewing is going to look right until you try it on the actual iPhone.

This is nice to use as a demo tool for how sites look on the iPhone.

Only problem I have is that I can’t load an https:// site. He must have added smarts that looks if the starting URL has a “http://” and prepends if not. Unfortunately that makes the URL “http://https://my.url.com”

It does this whether you add it as a bookmark or just type it on the URL line.

I had the same problem with Safari 4.0 on both WinXP and Vista. Once I uninstalled v4.0, downloaded v3.2.3 from http://www.filehippo.com/download_safari/5638/ and installed on my WinXP SP3 computer, it worked fine.
