This past week, Marketcircle announced a new version of iPhoney, its iPhone-specific web-design app. Providing users with a pixel-accurate 320 x 480 canvas, iPhoney is designed to help designers develop and test their iPhone-specific Web 2.0 pages prior to release. We’ve used earlier versions of the app in developing some of our own Web 2.0 apps, and we’ve been really pleased with its features:

• Test iPhone-enabled Web 2.0 applications and compatible web sites.
• Open any website that works with Safari (use Safari 3 beta for the most accurate experience).
• Rotate to see websites in either portrait or landscape orientation.
• Show or hide the location bar for a full-screen iPhone experience.
• Simulate the iPhone user agent, to test browser redirection scripts.
• Zoom out to see how your current pages might look while zoomed out on iPhone.
• Turn off plug-ins (including Flash).
• Automatic updates with Sparkle, so you’ll always know if there’s a new version.
• Open source code so you can contribute to iPhoney’s rapid development.

The new version lets users view the source code for pages. iPhoney requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later.
