EXCLUSIVE TO MEMBERS

Sony Ericsson Developer World's Virtual Lab uses Mobile Complete's "DeviceAnywhere" service.

This is a members-only service. Clicking on the link below will take you to Sony Ericsson Developer World's Virtual Lab hosted on Mobile Complete's website. You will be asked to login using your Developer World password. If you are not a registered member yet, you will be linked back to Sony Ericsson Developer World to register.

Alternatively, login to Developer World and click on MySettings to access the MyVirtualLab page for more information, firmware facts,  terms and conditions, and the same link to Sony Ericsson Developer World's Virtual Lab hosted on Mobile Complete's website.

Once connected and registered, developers download a Java client called DeviceAnywhere Studio that manages the remote testing session, including timeslot reservation and payment, application upload, showing a virtual view of the phone and communicating results. This software acts as a virtual user, remotely controlling and operating the mobile phone located in Mobile Complete's lab, pressing keys using electrical signals, using audio capture and streaming to listen to ringers and speakers and viewing displays using video capture and streaming.
