Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Five of the phone models available for remote testing initially – the Sony Ericsson W880 and W580 Walkman phones, the K550 and K810 Cyber-shot phones and the T650 – are representative of Sony Ericsson's Java Platform 7 (JP -7). The W910 Walkman is based on the new Java Platform 8 (JP-8) supporting Mobile Services Architecture (MSA), the next-generation Java umbrella standard (JSR-248), as well as Java Binding for the OpenGL ES API (JSR-239).
The company says the decision to open the lab was taken based on the results of 2,100 respondents to a global developer benchmark survey. The survey was undertaken by US research firm, Recom Research in March 2007. Recom found that, regardless of what developer program they were members of, developers in general wanted better access to devices (cheaper loans) for testing purposes.
"With the launch of this remote testing service together with Mobile Complete, Sony Ericsson is responding to consistent developer feedback in benchmarking surveys from the past few years about the importance of having early-access to phones and prototypes for testing purposes. said Ulf Wretling, general manager and head of content planning and management at Sony Ericsson. "The Virtual Lab gives us a fair-for-all, affordable and resource-effective means of being able to offer pre-commercial phones for testing to all Sony Ericsson Developer World members, not just the Premier Partners, and helps the community speed up the development process of new applications for our phones."
