Access to the most in-demand commercially available devices
Through the Palm Virtual Developer Lab, developers have access to Palm’s most popular devices. Featured devices include the Treo 755p and the Palm Centro, Palm’s new lightweight, high-end, low-cost smartphone. The Centro – which features Windows Mobile 6 and was voted one of the Top Ten handsets of 2007 by several news outlets, including PC World and Time – is a user-friendly device featuring 3G wireless and a QWERTY keyboard.

To access the Palm Virtual Developer Lab, users simply register by selecting the Palm VDL option on DeviceAnywhere’s Web site (www.deviceanywhere.com). Once registered, users are able to access Palm devices within the Virtual Developer Lab, press buttons, view LCD displays, and listen to ringers and speakers. Additional DeviceAnywhere features – such as monitoring and test automation – are also available on all Palm Virtual Developer Lab smartphones, empowering users to more efficiently create better applications and content for the marketplace.

“Smartphones continue to be among the most sought after handsets for application development and Palm continues to be a leader in the smartphone community,” said Faraz Syed, CEO and co-founder of DeviceAnywhere. “Now, especially with the launch of the Centro – which has proven to be a boon for Palm – the Palm Virtual Developer Lab is a very valuable extension of DeviceAnywhere for our users.”

DeviceAnywhere will create complimentary accounts for all members of the Palm Developer Network (PDN) program, as well as fund each account with three free hours with which to use the service. Further, DeviceAnywhere representatives will host training sessions to educate PDN members on how to sign up for and use the solution, as well as provide customer support each week from 12:00 am PST Monday through 5:00 pm PST Friday.
