  • Thanks for mentioning us in the article. We have expanded our mock-up tool set and now we have specific tools for iPhone and iPad mock-ups as well. You can check out the iPhone mock-up features at iPhone mock-up tools blog post

  • I would also suggest gomockingbird.com. You can start using it right away, no need to sign up. I upgraded for a while, they were a bit weird with their billing process, but overall I would recommend it.
