I'm developing a mobile site that needs to work in Blackberry browsers. This is not an app; just a website with custom stylesheets. Is there a Blackberry browser emulator available somewhere, or do I need to use one of the simulators, which give you the entire BB system?
Yes, you have to use the simulators provided by RIM.

Is where I've downloaded an emulator for the Blackberry Pearl. Hope this helps!
I've found a Chrome extension which attempts to emulate all mobile devices:
Ripple for Chrome (ripple.tinyhippos.com)
But, I have found it to be somewhat untrustworthy, testing Blackberry using jQuery mobile wasn't much help unfortunately...

I am willing to write a very simple mobile phone app (Android and iPhone). It is so generic that it should already exists. Only 2 pages : one for choosing the URL of the server and one with only webview. It already works in a browser. I looked at tools for this purpose (Android studio and Ionics) but they are quite difficult to start with. Any hint to get this done quickly ?
Thanks in advance.
You can do it with a simple ionic app and the in-app-browser plugin:

https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/in-app-browser
The title pretty much says it all. I was asked this question today and really didn't know the answer.
Ionic is not intended to build desktop, or even desktop browser based applications.
From the official docs :
Ionic is focused on building native/hybrid mobile apps rather than
mobile websites.
As such, our browser support tends to be whatever Web View API is
available to native apps on a given platform. For Ionic 1.0.0
"uranium-unicorn", that means UIWebView for iOS 7+, and Android 4.1
and up. Windows Phone and FirefoxOS support is on our roadmap.
Even if you implement a browser website using ionic, the rendered output would rather weird.
Infact, Ionic has itself implemented it's website using bootstrap ;)
I'm developing a mobile site for Android and iOS and I would like to see how it looks in Android Emulator and the iOS equivalent. My site is still only local, so I can't simply deploy it and go to phone's browser. I am using WAMP. How do I achieve this?
You can use PhoneGap and deploy your HTML files within it to see how it looks. Although it would not have the url bar on top like a mobile web browser but it gives you a good idea of things like performance and all the quirks you get with your mobile device.
Here is the Getting started guild from PhoneGap.

I am working on a Responsive Coming Soon page. It looks quite fine on several devices like iPad or iPhone, but to test them on multiple platform I am using Opera Mobile Emulator.
It is not detecting the Custom Font retrieved from Google Font API used in CSS. It's rather showing the fallback font come as default given within CSS. Problem is within emulator I can not see if the font has been loaded or not using the resources timeline.
Was testing the Emulator for Samsung Galazy Nexus.
What might be the reason behind this? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
From what I can tell from this page: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-mini-web-content-authoring-guidelines/#typography Opera mini doesn't support custom fonts, specifically:
setting font-family will have no effect
I'm looking for iPhone, iPad, Android and other mobile and smartphones web browsers simulators on x86. I would like to check how my web application written for standard web browser will be displayed on these devices.
The dev kits for these platforms include platform emulators, in which you can run the browser for that platform and load your web site to see how it will look.

I'm programming a web application for mobile and I use JQueryMobile.

if you just want to quickly view how a webpage would render at various mobile device resolutions then synthphone.com is a nice little webpage...
http://synthphone.com
you can even link directly to a url via query strings. for example, here is one that should load the Sencha Touch 2 carousel. Use your mouse like a finger to slide around the images etc.

have fun!
