Mobile developers now have real-time access to more than 70 of T-Mobileís most popular devices through DeviceAnywhereís mobile application development platform
(San Mateo Calif., USA), DeviceAnywhere (www.deviceanywhere.com), a leader in end-to-end mobile application development solutions, unveiled the new T-Mobile Virtual Developer Lab ñ a remote testing service designed to dramatically reduce the time and resources required to develop, test, monitor, and deploy applications and content for T-Mobile handheld devices. The on-line Virtual Developer Lab, offered as part of the award-winning DeviceAnywhere service is available immediately to T-Mobile developers and provides support for more than 70 handsets in the carrierís network, including the T-Mobile Shadow TM and Blackberry Pearl.
The T-Mobile Virtual Developer Lab ñ powered by DeviceAnywhere ñ provides T-Mobile developers with access to real devices over the internet. Developers can now access some of the newest and most popular T-Mobile devices for testing and monitoring of their mobile applications from the convenience of their desktop. The T-Mobile Virtual Developer Lab also helps empower users to connect effortlessly on projects regardless of where they are located.
DeviceAnywhere is a revolutionary online service that provides access to 1500 real handsets, on live worldwide mobile networks, remotely over the Internet, meeting all development, porting, testing, and monitoring needs. Unlike emulator/simulator-based solutions, DeviceAnywhere employs real, physical handsets ñ so, anything that a user can do with a device in his / her hand, he / she can do with the handsets in DeviceAnywhere ñ in real-time. This includes tasks such as pressing device buttons, tapping on touch screens, connecting/disconnecting the battery, viewing the LCD, listening to ringers and speakers, and opening/closing a handset.
Cost-effective and efficient, DeviceAnywhere eliminates the burden of manual testing and the high costs of acquiring handsets and service plans, as well as enables developers to bring content to market faster than ever before. Beyond remote access, mobile content developers can also perform automated testing through DeviceAnywhere Proô (http://www.deviceanywhere.com/da_pro/index.htm), and perform 24x7 Quality of Service (QoS) monitoring through DeviceAnywhere Monitoringô (http://www.deviceanywhere.com/da_monitoring/index.htm) to ensure ongoing quality and availability of their products.
ìIn todayís fast-paced move toward mobilization, developers need to have tools that will allow them to shorten the application development process across multiple devices,î said Venetia Espinoza, Director, Partner Programs, T-Mobile USA. ìWith the T-Mobile Virtual Lab, developers can now more efficiently build next-generation mobile content. Ultimately, your customers benefit most from the best user experience possible on T-Mobile devices.î

ìImplementing an efficient lifecycle for building high quality applications is paramount to the success of leading mobile organizations like T-Mobile,î said Faraz Syed, CEO and co-founder of DeviceAnywhere. ìThis is the primary reason why DeviceAnywhere has become the de-facto standard platform for more than half of the mobile application developer community in the U.S. T-Mobile has anticipated and recognized the value of DeviceAnywhere and we look forward to working with them to extend the benefits of the T-Mobile Virtual Lab to their users.î
