Simulate iPhone browser on iPad

I don't have an iPhone, and I don't have a Mac I could use to run the SDK, but I do have access to an iPad. How can I simulate the iPhone (and iPod Touch) Safari browsing experience on the iPad? I need to be able to replicate the iPhone pixel dimensions at the very least, plus a few things like orientation switching and geolocation that are present in the iPad anyway. It would be nice if it could transmit the iPhone user agent string, but if that's not possible I can work around it.

For anyone still looking for a solution - there is now an easier way by using a split screen option to put Safari side by side with another app, and reduce its width to the width of an iPhone.
