    I've just been looking for the same thing today, with not much luck.

    Some places do an online tester, but I can't find a proper emulator like the Blackberry one. By the way, I've already noticed little rendering differences between Safari on my PC and on my iPod touch, so bear that in mind if you download Safari.

    What would you be looking to do with it? For what platform?

    There's iphoney and also an emulator with the iphone sdk. However, you need a mac to run both of these. Haven't looked for anything on the PC as I'm using my MAC for testing stuff. If you haven't got a mac or can't justify the cost of getting one, you could pick up an iPod Touch 8GB for about €280. It's the same as the iphone without the phone and camera.

    IPhoney is available here from Sourceforge. It's written in something called Objective C and is available for OS X only.

    From their discussion forum:
    Are you working on an iPhoney for Windows?


    Marketcircle isn't, no. The engineering effort required would be too great since a lot of the "meat and potatoes" functionality of iPhoney is provided by the Apple kits - WebKit, AppKit, and QuartzCompositor.

    iPhoney clocks in at around 2000 lines of code which really just represent "glue" between the various pre-fab components Apple provides. A Windows version of the same code would require us to recreate a good deal of what Apple provides - rendering the whole thing not much of an off-hours project any more.
