iPhone simulator for Windows

I would like an iPhone simulator for Windows. Something similar to this one here:

http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/38-basics-tips-on-designing-for-the-iphone/

Note, this is NOT to test iPhone Apps... but rather, to test websites. I know I could just use a browser, but I was hoping for something with a bit more functionality ( specific to the touch interface ) that I could test some web pages on.

I've seen the beta project here: http://labs.blackbaud.com/NetCommunity/article?artid=662

Is this the best option at the moment? The article was from last year, that's why I ask.

You can do it all online, without a simulator:

Keep in mind, it's not a real test on an iPhone, but if you use it with Safari or Chrome for Windows, you'll come really close to how it'll look on an iPhone.

UPDATE: iphonetester.com no longer exists.

Google Chrome now has the ability to "Toggle Device Mode" by clicking the Phone icon in Dev Tools. This gives you a more touch-specific interface than just using the browser, allows you to throttle data, etc...

From here, you can choose the device:
