iPhone Software Simulator “iPhone SimDK” from OneSpring

OneSpring has created a software development/testing simulator for the iPhone into its iRise Simulator. It was built using the iPhone SDK so apps developed with the SDK will run as they ought to. They recreated most of the iPhone GUI including the keyboard and menu’s, and most importantly the touch interface, so testing your apps should be pretty accurate. I am not sure if it will handle Multi Touch as well as the SDK Simulator. If anyone out there has had a chance to test this, please let me know how it is.

Hot on the heels of the Apple iPhone software development kit (SDK) release, OneSpring unveils the first iPhone Simulation for iRise. In addition, OneSpring will soon make available the iPhone Simulation Developers Kit (SimDKTM) for iRise, which will include pre-packaged graphics, templates and functionality needed to build an iPhone simulation.

Another thing I noticed is that this is running on Windows, so this should help allot of developers that don’t have access to a OS X. I have personally never tested this so I personally cant comment on how it preforms, but from looking at the video demonstration on OneSpring it seems very promising for PC iPhone developers.
