Tools: Simulator Helpers

And it was just a little while ago that we brought to your attention the first Simulator helper for sending accelerometer data from an actual device that we’d run across — and all of a sudden, why, there’s a veritable plethora of them out there! Okay, three, but still.

The commercial offering is iSimulate, that does not only accelerometer but touches and GPS and pretty much everything, with a real website with an SDK and documentation and all that; and there’s a really very nice paid client for it

which you should pop over to take a look at the screenshots of.

And if that’s too rich for your blood, there’s a free server/SDK bundle called SimRemote to check out as well, client expected to be on the App Store soon.

Must admit we’re still inclined to use the accelerometer-simulator library we originally brought to your attention, as it’s open source and all and we like the option to muck with things … but hey, if you want the snaz, or support, always good to have options!
