Device Lab
This space in the Urban Airship building is dedicated to the device lab.
One of the major challenges for platform vendors, carriers, and handset manufacturers is how to make sure the best apps are available on their products.
One of the biggest challenges for mobile developers and businesses is getting access to devices for testing. Not even the largest of companies can afford to purchase all of the possible devices on which their software or services may run on.
We’re working on solving both of these problems by creating what we believe is the first community device testing lab in the United States.
The community device testing lab will be located in the heart of the Pearl District in downtown Portland. Developers, designers, and entrepreneurs throughout the region will be able to visit the lab to test their work on hundreds of mobiles devices. Developers working on location-based applications will be able to check out devices for field testing.
In order to pursue this mission, Mobile Portland is becoming an independent, non-profit organization. Upon completion of the formation of the organization, we will be looking for sponsorships and partners to help build the device lab and keep it furnished with the latest devices.
