Is the Simulator or Emulator closer to matching device? - emulation

When I run my web application on the Tizen Web Simulator and the Tizen Emulator using the same resolution (HD 720x1280) and density (DPI), the display does not match. Which one is closer to the display on the actual Tizen device?

Tizen Emulator is closer to the actual device because does an actual emulation so it has an OS image build on it.
Web Simulator is simulating the API, the Web Runtime, and some of the connectivity using Chromium's Webkit engine. It is a simulated environment and there is support only fort the HTML5 applications and not for the native applications.
From my experience with the Tizen Web application API, Tizen Emulator was closer to the actual device compared with the simulator.

There is a scale menu for Tizen Emulator. You can find context menu when you click to right mouse button on the tizen emulator. 4 scales available.
1x
3/4x
1/2x
1/4x
'1x' is closer to actual Tizen device. Tizen simulator display is similar '1/2x' scale of tizen emulator for me.

The Emulator is indeed closer to the device display than the simulator.
However, if you want to see how your app would look on a device, why not flash the Tizen image on a device?
they can be found here, and i'm sure instructions are there also:

Sony D2203 and google cardboard

I have a sony xperia E3 (D2203) I can build the demo for google cardboard and load the apk in the phone. When I open it it does starts, I see a menu with [reset] [recenter] [VR mode]
But the movement tracking is not working.
There is also a settings icon, when I click it leads to the cadboard app in google Play store. and In there I find out that my device is not compatible with it.
Can I work with this phone without this configuration app ?
Google Cardboard needs a built-in gyroscope to accurately track movements. Sony D2203 doesn't have this hardware, so it won't be much fun playing with Cardboard.

Stream/Play audio files on mobile browsers

I am trying to create a mobile website and want to be able to play/stream audio files.I have tried html5's audio tag and tried testing it on opera mobile 10 simulator but it does not work. I have lots of audio files and the audio should be auto played.
sidenote:
Also, i need to test my website for android and iphone mobile phones. I am downloading android emulator for windows. I tried searching for iphone emulator for windows but there are none...
Phone emulators aren't always a good indicator as they do not usually have a media player installed. The best way to test is to find someone with an actual Andriod / Blackberry / iPhone.
You should try the same HTML5 code with an actual phone. Note that Opera Mobile 10 does not have support for the video/audio tag. If you're interested in streaming to mobiles without HTML5, you should check this FAQ entry for more information.

J2ME Camera and Sound Recorder Access On A Windows Mobile

I'm currently involved in a research project that requires me to access a Windows Mobile Camera and sound recorder with J2ME to, well take pictures and record sound... the phone has to be a windows mobile for some reason that has nothing to do with me and the software has to be written in Java, also not my decision.
So I need to try and find a phone that supports this (if one exists) so I'd like to know if anyone has found one?
Thank You For Your Help.
(Note the phone supporting MMAPI (JSR 135) does not imply that you can use the camera and sound recorder, our current phone has this and has not access).
First, if you have any Windows Mobile 6.x device, please try to use JVM build for Windows Mobile from Sun Microsystems => http://blogs.oracle.com/javamesdk/entry/jvm_for_windows_mobile
Or, you can buy LG Monaco (WM 6.5) from AT&T network. It has Java ME with MMAPI camera support. Also, LG Incite (WM 6.1) have MMAPI camera support.
As I know, recent HTC WM device with Java ME also support MMAPI camera features.
Good luck.

iPod Development Under Linux

I was thinking in start to develop iPod applications, the thing is that I use Linux(Ubuntu Hardy) and I don't know if I can develop on it, then I'm here asking for some resources and tutorials to begin. Thanks.
Remember that I don't want to develop for iPod Touch, but for iPod Video
Unfortunately, development targeting Apple devices (iPod, iPod Touch, iPhone) can only be done through OS X because everything you need to develop your Interface (Interface Builder) and to test your app (Device Simulators) have only been release (by Apple) for OS X.
...don't tell anybody I told you this, but if you're only looking to distribute your app to Jailbroken devices (and not through the iTunes App Store), you can develop on Linux. Check out the link.
