For the developers out there, DeviceAnywhere has launched mobile device support in it’s DeviceAnywhere Studio product for the iPhone 3G, full announcement after the jump.

Full Announcement:

(San Mateo Calif., USA), September 9, 2008 – DeviceAnywhere(tm), the
leading global provider of end-to-end solutions for the mobile
development lifecycle, today unveiled the new Apple iPhone 3G as the
latest addition to its expanding roster of mobile devices available to
developers worldwide over an Internet-based service.  This new addition
marks another significant milestone for the company, which released the
first generation of the iPhone device last year at the CTIA Wireless &
Entertainment Conference in San Francisco. With this release,
DeviceAnywhere brings the only solution to the mobile marketplace that
offers developers a simple, direct connection to more than 1500 mobile
devices – now including first and second generation iPhone handsets, to
optimize their development efforts without having to physically acquire
the devices.

With the addition of the new iPhone 3G, DeviceAnywhere users will also
be able to capitalize on the latest new features available on the
device. For example:
*       Users can test downloading their application through the
AppStore
*       Users can test how fast their Web sites loads on the 3G network

DeviceAnywhere will be demonstrating the iPhone on DeviceAnywhere at the
CTIA Wireless & Entertainment Conference in San Francisco, CA (September
10-12) in Booth #751.

According to William Ho, Research Director (Wireless Services) at
Current Analysis: “Applications have become a major part of the iPhone’s
appeal since the arrival of the App Store.  Whatever the issues that
Apple has faced over the performance of the iPhone 3G, it has done
little to dampen the enthusiasm of application developers who have been
creating more and more applications for the platform.”

DeviceAnywhere is a revolutionary online service used by thousands of
mobile organizations and their developers. It provides access to real
mobile handsets that are each connected to live networks. These devices
are accessible remotely over the Internet, allowing users to interact in
real time to ensure all development, porting, testing, and monitoring
needs are met. The DeviceAnywhere service uses actual, physical handsets
to provide developers with the same experiences as having the devices in
hand.

“With the addition of the iPhone 3G to DeviceAnywhere, we are leveling
the playing field for application developers around the world,”
commented Faraz Syed, CEO of DeviceAnywhere.  ”It can be tough, not to
mention expensive, for developers to get hold of the right devices on
the right networks, so this should come as welcome relief for the many
application developers who are building apps for the iPhone platform .”
