Is there a SmartTV that can open a browser when it's powered on (in EU)? And how can you do it (do you need to hack the TV)?
You can try some "hack" but it is not so easy. I try it for Samsung models (Without tizen OS).
I had to enable running ticker applications in Samsung service menu (Any classic system menu in TV) Then you can set ticker app It should be your easy app where you define something like: "Open webbrowser with some URL".
Another not easy way is using TV with Android but I think, you should also implement some app which open webbrowser.
I hope that it for helpful for you.
All of Samsung's SSSP TV's can do that. But they are expensive.

I have an application with web interface. Unfortunately, it has all disadvantages of being a web page:
It doesn't have a standalone window, so users cannot manage it via the taskbar.
Users see the address line with something like 'http://localhost:8080' that is not a good idea for home users.
If users click on a tray icon, there is no way to activate the tab in a browser, which contain the application interface.
So, it would be nice to have a wrapper application with a browser within.
In case of IE I know it's possible to create a window with Trident ActiveX component. But what if it's Windows XP with IE6 but installed latest Chrome? I'd like to prefer Chrome since it supports a lot more features which the user will never see.
So, is there a way to wrap a page into Chrome/Firefox and make it look like a standalone application, if one of them is presented in the user's system? (The application shouldn't install anything large, so Chromium build is not an option).
P.S. I'm not interested in supporting other platforms than Windows.
Regards,
Take a look at Chrome Apps.
I hope helps you.
I'm using the ShareLinkTask in an app I'm developing, however, on the emulator it doesn't appear to do anything, not even pretend to go through the motions. Is this the sign of a bug with my code, or is this just how the emulator behaves?
That's the way the emulator works with this task.
From msdn
Allows an application to launch a dialog that enables the user to share a link on the social networks of their choice.
The emulator does not have any social networks so nothing to share.
I am developing a web app that involves touchEvent. It will be much more easier to debug those if I can view the console remotely on my Mac.
Can I make my Mobile Safari on the iOS device store the console log somewhere in the system. I have already jailbreak my iPad.
Thanks!
plug iphone into computer
settings > safari > advanced > web inspector (turn on)
open safari on your computer
run your web app on your iphone in the safari browser
on your computer in safari, go to Develop -> "name of your iphone" and then find the correct tab under "Safari" opens Web Inspector.
doing these steps enables the safari debug tools on your desktop to reflect and respond to the connected iphone.
hope that helps.
Just turn on the debugging console in Mobile Safari. This is enabled in Settings/Safari/Developer.
One File Remote Console.log for node.js
Solution: Server side console log.
In iOS6, you can now use the Remote Web Inspector on OSX to connector to the iPhone via USB. See the Apple documentation for more information.
You can use a remote javascript console. There a few available.

Not sure if I'm allowed to re-post my answer from another question, but at this link here I posted 3 options of JS console and logging tools that can assist with troubleshooting issues on iOS devices, with screenshots and sample code snippets. One of these is an open source tool I built myself, but the other two are probably even more advanced.
mobile-console-log is also a utility for debugging directly from your mobile into Chrome Devtools
Is there a way to get list of open or visible NSWindow from mac desktop?
Note that not all windows are necessarily NSWindows, and that NSWindow only provides an interface to windows in your own address space.
The supported way to access every window is the CGWindow API. Take a look at the Son of Grab sample code to see how it's done.
You can use the accessibility API (accessibility must be enabled under System Preferences for it to work) to get information on windows (and other UI elements) from other processes. This question might be just what you're looking for.
ALL running applications? No. You can only get the NSWindows of your own app. You may be able to use Universal Access or Core Graphics APIs to get some information about windows of other apps, but not full access.
I would like an iPhone simulator for Windows. Something similar to this one here:
http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/38-basics-tips-on-designing-for-the-iphone/
Note, this is NOT to test iPhone Apps... but rather, to test websites. I know I could just use a browser, but I was hoping for something with a bit more functionality ( specific to the touch interface ) that I could test some web pages on.
I've seen the beta project here: http://labs.blackbaud.com/NetCommunity/article?artid=662
Is this the best option at the moment? The article was from last year, that's why I ask.
Just to add additional information to this post:
found another one for both iphone and ipad: http://code.google.com/p/ibbdemo2/downloads/detail?name=iBBDemo2.air&can=4&q=
Google Chrome now has the ability to "Toggle Device Mode" by clicking the Phone icon in Dev Tools. This gives you a more touch-specific interface than just using the browser, allows you to throttle data, etc...
From here, you can choose the device:
You can do it all online, without a simulator:

Keep in mind, it's not a real test on an iPhone, but if you use it with Safari or Chrome for Windows, you'll come really close to how it'll look on an iPhone.
UPDATE: iphonetester.com no longer exists.
That's the best I found: http://iphone4simulator.com/
There is a commercial successor to iBBDemo2 that's available for $40 - http://www.electricplum.com/studio.aspx
