Re: [android-developers] device testing on iOS app port

2012-03-12 Thread Kristopher Micinski
Do subscriptions to testing services really cost more than three devices?

Wow... that's bad.

 the port. However, I'm a little concerned about testing. I don't currently
 own any Android devices at all. I'm willing to buy 2-3 devices for testing
 purposes but I don't have the budget to buy more than this or to subscribe
 to one of the online testing services.

 So before I commit to this project, I'd like to ask people with more
 experience this: are two or three different phones enough to test a
 relatively simple app before release or would I need more to represent the
 large number of different devices out there?

It depends on what your application does.  For example, if you don't need
the camera or GPS you may be able to get away with using the emulator for
some devices.

What are you targeting and what features are you going to need?
