Sony Ericsson and Mobile Complete today unveiled the Sony Ericsson Virtual Lab – a remote testing service designed to dramatically reduce the time and resources required to develop and test JavaT ME based applications for Sony Ericsson phones. The on-line service is available globally to all members of Sony Ericsson Developer World and provides support for pre �commercial mobile phones released by the company.

The Sony Ericsson Virtual Lab provides Java developers a means to faster, more cost-effectively develop, test, and monitor applications on real Sony Ericsson phones connected to live mobile networks 24/7 through an Internet browser. As a result, developers no longer need to invest in device labs or even be physically present on an operator’s network. This unique on -line service allows developers to remotely access 2007 phones that are not yet commercially available , maximizing the valuable time window to bring quality products to market, including applications at market launch of a new phone.

The Sony Ericsson Virtual Lab service is available to any developer registered as a Community member of Sony Ericsson Developer World. Once connected and registered, developers can simply download a Java client that manages the remote testing session �including timeslot reservation and payment and application upload – showing a virtual view of the phone and communicating results. You can do anything on a Virtual Lab phone that you could do if the phone was physically in your hand (except for testing the accelerometer behavior, for example the sensor control in a game, since the test phones are physically mounted in a rack in the Lab and will not move if you rock the phone). The cost for using the service depends on the extent of the testing needs of the developer, who can sign up for as little as $100 /month.

Development support and technical resources for Java ME application developers can be found at Sony Ericsson Developer World, www.SonyEricsson.com/developer .
