Ha - first post in a new forum ...

Although I know the small devices mode of the opera browser, I'd like to have some emulators which are more "close to the real thing". So I have some questions:

- is there any other WebTV simulator than microsoft's?

- can anyone recommend a simulator which can be tweaked to simulate certain conditions eg. 320x240 screen, 8 bit colors, no javascript etc.etc.

- I installed the Nokia cell phone simulator, but it won't run. Is there somebody who has experience with this software?

Apart from that, I am more than happy about this forum. What we really need is an accessible web, and I am convinced that accessibility, usability AND compelling design are just two faces of the SAME medal. Now, if it weren't for IE ... just look at the CSS Zen Garden

to get a glimpse of what would be possible.

Great link! Thanks for sharing.

You probably wonder why I am looking after that. We operate a large regional portal site, where we want to introduce some sort of "location based services". We do not want to invest in WAP or imode gateways or whatever, but we hope to get through with simple, compliant, accessible XHTML.
