HyperLab app for iPhone and iPad

HyperLab, the HTML5 app crucible.

HyperLab is an HTML5 test container utility that lets your easily run HTML5 based prototype applications on your phone.

Display images, movies, pdfs, and static html pages
Run your prototype HTML5 apps and games in a full screen browser.
Test your prototype Apache Cordova applications quickly and easily without needing to rebuild, or provision.

HyperLab lets you sync files to your device using iTunes file sharing. In order to move your html pages to the device it must be connected via usb to your iTunes sync machine.

With your device connected, and iTunes open, select your iOS device.
- Select the apps tab along the top of the device info pane.
- Scroll to the bottom and you will see the file-sharing section.
- In the Apps pane, select HyperLab.
- To the right, you will see a list of ‘HyperLab Documents’
You can drop files here and they will be instantly copied to the device. No need to sync.

HyperLab supports images, movies, pdfs, and html pages. Unfortunately, iTunes will not allow you to drop a folder to sync, so you will need to zip the folder and drop the zip file into iTunes. HyperLab will unzip the file when you select it.

When loading files, the browser control will take the full screen area. You will need to press and hold the title bar to return to HyperLab and relaunch your html page, or load another file.

HyperLab includes the Apache Cordova 1.6.0 device access APIs.
Documentation for this version is here:

http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.6.0/index.html

You will need to include the JavaScript file cordova-1.6.0.js in your application in order to access device functions.
