I am creating mobile application in asp.net webform targeting IPhone, Android and blackberry. I am using JQuery-Mobile for the same. Below is my first page I have developed with jquery-mobile.

JQuery-mobile page

I don't have iphone, android and blackberry. So my questions are:

  1. Best Simulator I can use on windows XP/ Windows Server 2008 for Iphone, Andriod and Blackberry
  2. Also, when I am running the application on the browser it is looking wierd. I mean textbox size, buttons. Is this the way it looks on normal webpage or it's my faulty design?
  3. As I am developing application in asp.net, do I need to install latest browser which support HTML5 and CSS3 because below browser is IE7.

An old IE is not the best choice to test the capabilities of a HTML5+javascript framework...

For daily basis it's quite ok to use Firefox or any WebKit based browser (chrome, safari ...)

Emulators are very helpful, but to be sure your product works well you will probably need to give it a try on an actual device. I have already seen some reports of problems that show up only when working with the real device.

A team that I do some JQM stuff for has bought a cheap old ipod touch for testing. It's the most demanding apple product you can get. It has the oldest browser, causes most problems and is the slowest. Best choice! :)

Emulator for Android

Simulators for Blackberry

I'm sure Apple has one too - but I think you need to register as a iOS developer before you can get your hands on it. I believe using third-party iOS emulators is against Apple's policy.

Thanks! Does my web app look fine in the browser?
It has no gradients and no rounded corners. the size is a normal thing. You can fiddle with label tags and field containers and better button setup to make the layout better.
