Show HN: TestingAndroid.com: Test Your Android App Across Several Devices

somehow, I think DeviceAnywhere.com is a much better solution for the same problem. Yes, it's slow most of the times, but they have a plethora of devices to test on and you can test the app however you want.

As long as everyone complains about Android fragmentation, I think you will have a market.

If I was you I would improve the video.

The video shows someone testing the user experience but what about a structured functionality test amongst a set of devices. If I were using the service I would like to provide a checklist and see you go through that checklist on a set of devices and OS versions that I would provide.

Good call, that's what happens "behind the scenes", but we will improve the video to include that :) Thanks!

Totally agree with what base said. The hindrance in developing for all phones is the OS. Some ATT/T-Mobile phones are not allowed to upgrade to 2.2, heck sometimes not even 1.6+.

I ran into that problem with an app I launched last year. Doh!

This looks really nice. I don't really care about the videos, in fact, but just knowing if a complex NDK app (VLC, for me) runs on different devices (and Android version) would just be great too.
