DeviceAnywhere unveils LG Virtual Developer Lab

SAN MATEO, US: DeviceAnywhere, a provider in mobile application testing and development solutions on Tuesday announced the launch of the LG Virtual Developer Lab (VDL) in partnership with LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

Available to members of the LG Mobile Developer Network, the LG VDL provides remote access to over 140 physical devices in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.

“LG represents one of the fastest growing brands in mobile, with flagship devices such as the LG Cookie and LG Shine creating the ultimate end user-centric experience. Complementing these devices is the content and applications that our developer community creates. As a result, we are dedicated to ensuring they have access to the best tools and services available,” said Jae un Kim, chief engineer of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "

The LG Virtual Developer Lab is part of LG’s ongoing commitment to supporting the mobile content and application development community, said the release.

Built on Java and Flash Lite, the LG VDL would allow developers of all sizes, ranging from independents to large content companies, to promptly test across a range of LG handsets to ensure the optimal end-user experience.

“Content and services has become a fundamental tool in the personalization of the mobile handset and as a result a key element in the purchasing decision. Mobile content developers must employ the most advanced development solutions available to ensure the creation of the high-quality content that today’s market demands,” said Faraz Syed, CEO and co-founder of DeviceAnywhere.
