I have Safari on my iPhone which is where I'm at now.;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Browsershots.org is not a very good resource. I use it do not get me wrong, but it take so long to get a few screen shots and most of them do not upload correctly. You could do a search for a paid service, but if you are just getting into Designing, I would suggest just doing the testing yourself. :P

They are a little slow when it comes to checking for a Apple OS view though. :) Otherwise really good to use! I have been using them for years.

I have found browsershots.org to be very incorrect in many of their output screenshots myself. I've had it give me the wrong screenshots or just reading the sites wrong completely for browsers I can look at myself. I'd look at their result and look at the actual browser itself and they wouldn't be the same at all. I myself am not too trusting of their results I guess.

I can def see that! One issue with BS is their page width is 1024, but otherwise has shown gross errors especially when viewing through older browsers. The other thing is that's it's free, and only takes a short while to do an analysis.
