| DeviceAnywhere Joins the BlackBerry ISV Alliance Program DeviceAnywhere has joined the BlackBerry Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Alliance Program and is providing mobile developers worldwide with an efficient new mechanism for application development on the BlackBerry platform from Research In Motion (RIM). Through DeviceAnywhere, developers now have access to 100 live BlackBerry smartphones on 16 different carriers, through which developers can conduct all the development, testing, porting and monitoring of their BlackBerry smartphone applications. DeviceAnywhere is an online service that provides access to more than 1500 real mobile handsets connected to live networks which can be accessed remotely over the Internet, meeting all development, porting, testing, and monitoring needs. Built on the company's Direct-to-Device technology, DeviceAnywhere provides developers with a direct connection to mobile handsets from different locations to remotely collaborate on projects. Developers can work together on the same BlackBerry smartphones from different global regions, empowering developers to easily create any mobile application quickly and efficiently. Gartner recently reported that second-quarter worldwide smartphone sales totaled 32.2 million – a number that analysts predict will continue to climb through 2008 and into 2009. North America has one of the fastest-growing smartphone markets, with 78.7 percent increase in sales over the past year. Among the 100 global BlackBerry smartphones available on DeviceAnywhere are the BlackBerry Bold – RIM's the new, tri-band HSDPA smartphone with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi, as well as a media player enabling full-screen movie playback and digital music collection management – and the BlackBerry Curve series smartphones. New handsets will be continuously added to DeviceAnywhere to ensure that BlackBerry smartphone developers have access to the latest and most popular handsets. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
