iPad Emulator for Checking iWeb sites

Found an iPad Emulator for checking out sites for compatibility. It appears to be quite accurate in landscape mode but has problems in the portrait mode.

The landscape mode seems to suit the 980px page width which is no great surprise. It looks as though this page width should be OK in portrait mode if the simulator could get rid of all that white space.

For general design purposes this emulator will be fine, but don't rely on it for functionality of your site. I notice, e.g., that this emulator allows Flash, which iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch do not.
