I've recently become interested in optimizing sites for the iPhone and iPod touch. While nothing beats testing on the device itself, I often find it quicker to test changes on my Mac. Changing the user agent string is a piece of cake in Safari (Develop > User Agent > Mobile Safari) but what about adjusting the browser window's dimensions to match those of the iPhone?

I've created two bookmarklets to allow the current page to be loaded in an iPhone-sized window with a single click:

• Portrait (labelled "⁑")

  javascript:open(location,'iPhone:portrait','innerWidth='+(320+15)+',innerHeight='+(480+15)+',scrollbars=yes');
  

• Landscape (labelled "**")

  javascript:open(location,'iPhone:landscape','innerWidth='+(480+15)+',innerHeight='+(320+15)+',scrollbars=yes');
