As some of you may know, Vodafone offers you 100% free access to the Vodafone Private Handset Cloud. This innovative service, powered by Perfecto Mobile's™ mobile application testing solutions, allows you to test your widgets, applications & content on REAL live Vodafone devices. The Vodafone Private Handset Cloud significantly evolved during recent months, to include new handsets and many exciting features that can really make life a whole lot easier for all you developers out there. The Vodafone Handset Cloud lets you test and monitor your apps on multiple devices, in various geographies and thus significantly shorten your application's approval process, testing costs and time to market- without ever needing to constantly buy new devices! With the launch of the new Vodafone Developers website we thought it could be a good opportunity to invite all of you - existing and new developers - to check out (for free!) the service and see how it can help you.
