What can I use to test websites I developed using HTML/CSS to see how it looks in mobile devices like iPhone/iPad/Android? Emulators/Simulators on Windows? I could installthe Android SDK and use its emulator? for Apple's devices, I need to pay for the SDK? anything I can use to emulate, I just need it for website testing not apps. Sites like www.testiphone.com or iphonetester.com doesn't appear to be accurate

If you're on a Mac, use the iPhone simulator included with the SDK.
For windows, there's an Adobe AIR application called iBBDemo2 which is an iPad/iPhone simulator. It looks like a fairly accurate emulator, so it might be worth a try: iBBDemo2
EDIT: Just tested this out on a couple more sites and it's accurate. Definitely worth trying.
The Android SDK also includes an emulator and it's free.

You'll need somekinda Apple iOS device to test it.
The SDK is free, if you have access to a modern Mac OSX machine. Inside the iOS SDK which requires a Mac OSX, you have iPhone and iPad simulators.
You could also try to install a "hackintosh" (PC hardware with Mac OSX upon), then you would need a "spare PC" which is compatible with the hackintosh setup + an original Mac OSX DVD (very cheap actually).
