NOT an iPhone simulator

An enter­pris­ing com­pany has developed a handy little applic­a­tion that will aid web­site developers when cre­at­ing sites for Apple’s upcom­ing iPhone.

But, to be clear, this is not an iPhone simulator:

iPhoney is not an iPhone sim­u­lat­or but instead is designed for web developers who want to cre­ate 320 by 480 (or 480 by 320) web­sites for use with iPhone. It gives you a can­vas on which to test the visu­al qual­ity of your designs.

…and yeah, they called it iPhoney. That’s the same name as a Palm hack / skin released shortly after the iPhone was unveiled.

Do you detect a bit of con­fu­sion on the hor­iz­ion? Maybe a law­suit by Apple?
