Introducing iOS Viewers – View your current tab in Safari on the iPhone or the iPad.

Having been frustrated with checking my iPhone and iPad for any new site I create many times in the past, I set out trying to think of an easier way to do it. With serendipity this morning just as I was pondering I saw a blog post detailing how to create an Automator iPhone webkit simulator application and realised how this could be the solution to my problems. I followed the tutorial and then modified things for my own needs.

I like to keep things as simple and easy to use as possible so I decided that each one would be easy to differentiate across orientation and device. As I had already created a new Automator app, something I had little experience, I decided that I would make some pretty icons. I’ve never created icons before so I was really enjoying the idea of the challenge. After creating an icon that had the some dimensions and look as an iPhone I decided I wanted something more standardised and thus set on creating these hybrid icon/devices you see.

If you have any feedback, be sure to let me know as a comment. Reports are coming back saying it’s Lion only. Sorry.
