Making sure that your site looks great and works exactly as it should in mobile browsers can often be a tedious process.

Previously, if you wanted to test and debug your mobile-friendly sites in Opera Mobile, you either needed a physical phone or some form of virtual machine emulating the whole mobile operating system.

With Opera Mobile, we hope to provide you with the simplest solution: a small, native application that's easy to install on your desktop machine, which runs exactly the same code as its mobile phone version — so you can be assured that what you're seeing on your test environment closely relates to the experience your end users will get.

This application acts as a desktop emulator for Opera's smart phone browser. The Opera Mobile Emulator renders pages as close as you can get to how it would look on a real phone.
