Hi Ash, I work for a company called PerfectoMobile (used to be Nexperience). See www.perfectomobile.com. We enable access to real mobile devices via the web. You can install your app on the device and test it as if you were holding the device in your hands.
We just launched a campaign especially for our Android developers and I thought that might be interesting for you. We offer you access to over a dozen of the hottest Android devices for a special deal. Just check out this campaign by following the link below: http://www.perfectomobile.com/portal/cms/android.html Have fun!
