Today the mobile phone has evolved from a simple voice device, to a fully-functional personal organiser conveniently containing important information including contacts, calendar appointments and notes. It can be used to access the Internet while on the move, especially for email, and is also a portable radio, music player, camera and photograph album.

Emulators are standalone applications enabling you to run a fully-functional (in most cases) instance of a PDA directly on your PC. These are typically used by developers to quickly and easily test their code on a device, but are also useful for training and documentation purposes. Most manufacturers provide free emulators for their products to their developer community, in this post I will look at where you can find these emulators, how to install them and what they allow you to do.

As mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) have ever more features packed into them, the options for receiving email while on the move are correspondingly wide. But which solution is right for your customer, and how do you sell them?
