Hello Lee,
I appreciate your interest in our products!
You are right, demos are designed to run on mobile devices and it is preferred to use third-party device simulators, such as Ripple. If you'd like to run demos in desktop browsers, you can edit an application's js file (index.js) to apply specific styling before an application is initialized, e.g.:
    DevExpress.devices.current('iPhone');
    XXX.app = new DevExpress.framework.html.HtmlApplication
In addition, use a webserver to setup and run a demo. Let me know if you need further assistance.

      using Ripple produces below error
      "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'back' of #<History>"
      Thanks in advance for your help.

        Hello,
        I'm afraid that we cannot do much here, as various emulators work differently and are unpredictable. In this case, I recommend trying a different device emulator to see if an application works there. Or, you can use Eclipse IDE or xCode for creating application packages and running them on devices.
