+1 Agree!

Definitely noticed the coder before the array of devices… I’m jealous. Wish I had someone like her working with me! BTW … what’s the advantage of a dozen devices over something like this?

Services like this cheat in some cases, it’s more stable I think to test it on live devices.

Sorry man, but that’s crap. That will not show you a frozen javascript animation issue on iOS 6. That won’t show you the difference in handling onclick event in mobile Safari and every other mobile browser. You’ll definitely won’t be aware of issues getting window height and width params. You won’t be terrified about Opera Turbo making your ajax broken. And that won’t reveal to you that many themes here on TF are… not actually responsive

Man, I’m telling you, coding for mobile devices is no better then for IE 5 .5!

Good point…. I’ve always tested my code on all major desktop browsers, but the multitude of quirks in the mobile world never even occurred to me. Thanks for the tip! Guess it’s a good thing I’m still in the learning phase when it comes to template design!

Oh, did I mention awesome retina displays and serving graphics for them?

Now seriously. Mobile development requires phone and tablet on iOS and clean Android. Min. 4 devices. If you hear someone telling that good code will work everywhere, than it must be a plane HTML .
