DeviceAnywhere announced today the launch of the Symbian Virtual Developer Lab (VDL) together wih the Symbian Foundation (http://www.opensourcegroups.com/www.symbianfoundation.org). The VDL will provide the open source community with the tools to bring innovative and compelling mobile experiences to market . From today, Symbian Foundation members will have remote access to a range of Symbian supported handsets, including the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the first touchscreen Symbian device, and the Nokia N97, with additional devices being added as the project develops.
Utilizing DeviceAnywhere’s Direct-To-Device technology, developers will be able to remotely perform real-world testing scenarios with physical devices from anywhere in the world. They will also be able to remotely press buttons, listen to ringtones and sounds, play videos, access the internet and view LCD displays with pixel-by-pixel representations for accurate image and text matching that display exactly what the consumer would view.
The technology also allows developers to get their hands on a range of built-in collaborative tools. For example, DeviceAnywhere automatically captures screen shots and keystrokes, allowing for easy review of development and testing activities. These reports can then be saved and sent to colleagues to allow for analysis and error proofing. Additionally, videos can also be recorded and used in a similar manner, or marketed to potential distributors and application stores.
In recognition of this development, DeviceAnywhere will be giving every member of the Symbian Foundation five free hours of access to the Symbian VDL in addition to complimentary DeviceAnywhere accounts. For more information, visit http://www.deviceanywhere.com/ (http://www.deviceanywhere.com/)
