A Guide to Mobile Emulators- In a previous article, I put forward a three-point plan for testing mobile Web sites. One of the points involved the use of emulators for first-pass device testing. This article concentrates on configuring emulators for mobile site testing (it also highlights emulators that can be used to test mobile applications too). It outlines the different types of emulator available, the best ones to use, and the various ways in which they can be used. For the uninitiated, an emulator is a software program that aims to replicate the functions of a specific piece of hardware or software.

This is not always straightforward, as you want to approximate the mobile environment as closely as possible.

Audio/Video Playback & Streaming Support on Mobile Devices- Audio and video are very important tools in the arsenal available to web-developers, marketing/sales types and content providers (to name but a few). Few are likely to remember the internet before YouTube, before on-demand playback of your favourite tv shows or even before Google for that matter, which means that the ability to embed movies and rich content in a webpage is almost certainly taken for granted in today's always-on world.
