DeviceAnywhere Works with BlackBerry Partners Fund for 2010 Developer Challenge

DeviceAnywhere's Proof Center™ and DemoAnywhere™ to Play Central Role in Developer Competition

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Further building upon its role as a BlackBerry^® Alliance Member, DeviceAnywhere is working with the BlackBerry Partners Fund during the newly-announced BlackBerry Partners Fund Super Apps Developer Challenge. The competition, which is open to all developers, aims to spur the development of deeply integrated applications that deliver a compelling user experience leveraging the unique capabilities of the BlackBerry Application Platform.

“Developer challenges are a breeding ground for application innovation and DeviceAnywhere is pleased to be an enabling partner of the BlackBerry Partners Fund’s ‘Super Apps’ Developer Challenge”

Developers entering this competition will benefit from a direct link to DeviceAnywhere’s industry standard Test Center™ solution, which provides remote access to networked devices located across the globe. DeviceAnywhere is also supporting this challenge with Proof Center™ to provide a proof-based self-certification solution that gives application developers remote access to DeviceAnywhere’s banks of real networked devices. With Proof Center, users can compile evidence that their application works successfully using handset screenshots and video, which are automatically saved and organized into proofs that can later be viewed or searched for by application and handset. For the purposes of this competition, Proof Center serves as the testing platform for a more in-depth submission process that developers will use to submit a higher-quality version of their application, before they proceed to the final phase in which winners will be selected.

For the finalists, DeviceAnywhere will create free interactive tutorials using DemoAnywhere™, a solution that allows developers to demonstrate the application’s key features and functionality to consumers. DemoAnywhere can be leveraged as a powerful marketing tool on any online medium such as developer websites and blogs, allowing potential buyers to feel comfortable with the app before they go ahead and download it. Winners will also gain prizes of testing time in DeviceAnywhere’s industry-leading Test Center.

“Developer challenges are a breeding ground for application innovation and DeviceAnywhere is pleased to be an enabling partner of the BlackBerry Partners Fund’s ‘Super Apps’ Developer Challenge,” said Faraz Syed, CEO of DeviceAnywhere. “The three DeviceAnywhere technologies that are being leveraged for the competition will demonstrate the breadth of support that we offer for the different stages of application development.”
