DeviceAnywhere and Mobile Distillery Team to Optimize the Mobile Application Development Lifecycle Leading Developer of Automatic Porting and Optimizing Mobile Applications Partners with DeviceAnywhere -- Allowing Its Users to Benefit From Unprecedent Integrated Workflow, Shrinking Mobile Application Development Schedules While Simplifying Production Efforts SAN MATEO, Calif. & MARSEILLE, France--(Business Wire)-- DeviceAnywhere(TM) today announced the addition of Mobile Distillery to its growing portfolio of DeviceAnywhere Connect(TM) partners. Mobile Distillery, a European leader in enabling the optimization and automatic porting of mobile Java and BREW applications, is also one of the founders of DeviceAnywhere Connect partner, the PACA Mobile Center, a non-profit phone library dedicated to the development, testing, and integration of new applications into phones. France-based Mobile Distillery joins companies worldwide -- including dotMobi, Netbiscuits, and MBlox -- as a DeviceAnywhere Connect partner and, as such, will receive extended DeviceAnywhere benefits for its user community. DeviceAnywhere and Mobile Distillery's solutions both radically simplify the mobile application development process for BREW and Java-based mobile applications, reduce porting and testing cycles while generating cost savings, and accelerating time-to-market. Mobile Distillery's in-demand Celsius software solution is a comprehensive optimization and porting platform for BREW and Java mobile applications that facilitates application development across a wide range of mobile handsets, with only one Java source code, as well as port multiple optimized versions. The market leader in mobile development, porting, testing and monitoring solutions, DeviceAnywhere solves one of the biggest challenges facing mobile application and content developers: access to myriad handsets in target carrier networks worldwide. Further, DeviceAnywhere reduces the cost and burden associated with manual testing. The combined efficiency of Celsius and DeviceAnywhere will provide users with the ultimate development experience. "It is our goal to deliver to our customers the most advanced Java and BREW mobile application development life cycle software solutions available," said Vincent Berge, co-founder/general manager for Mobile Distillery and president of PACA Mobile Center. "Through our partnership with DeviceAnywhere, Mobile Distillery users will dramatically shorten cycles between Development/Porting and Testing, while accessing more than 1000 real devices in a convenient, cost-efficient manner." "We are pleased to continue expanding the DeviceAnywhere Connect program with mobile technology enablers that complement and extend the DeviceAnywhere mission to improve mobile application development," said Faraz Syed, CEO and co-founder of DeviceAnywhere. "Mobile Distillery's solutions aim to optimize the whole development cycle of Java and BREW applications through a unique automatic porting process and -- with DeviceAnywhere -- developers using Celsius will benefit from a unique integrated workflow, enabling access to multiple carrier networks from the convenience of their own desktops." "The ability to access real mobile devices though a simple desktop interface can dramatically improve time-to-market," said Razmig Sarkissian, integration & test manager for Mobile Distillery. "DeviceAnywhere, the only solution with the hardware and software required to build advanced Java and BREW apps in a real development environment, accomplishes this feat. Moreover this partnership is a testament to our ongoing mission to ensure that our users can fully capitalize on the Celsius solution to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of mobile content development." DeviceAnywhere provides thousands of mobile developers worldwide access to more than 1000 real mobile devices, on live worldwide mobile networks, remotely over the Internet -- for all development, porting, testing, and monitoring needs. Unlike emulator/simulator based solutions, DeviceAnywhere employs real physical handsets. Anything a user can do with a device in his/her hand, can be done with the handsets in DeviceAnywhere -- including pressing device buttons, tapping on touch screens, viewing the LCD, listening to ringers and speakers and even hardware specific functions such as connecting/disconnecting the battery or opening/closing a handset. Cost-effective and efficient, DeviceAnywhere eliminates the high cost of manual testing and enables developers to bring content to market faster than ever before.
