I was wondering if there were any reputable shops I could rent iOS devices from? I'm working on a small collaborative iOS app. I can't afford to buy multiple devices, but I would certainly be interested in renting them for a week or so for testing purposes.<p>(If one doesn't exist, then this sounds like an interesting startup idea for someone with an appetite for logistical problems.)<p>Any recommendations?
I'm not sure if something like that exists, but I've used <a href="http://deviceanywhere.com" rel="nofollow">http://deviceanywhere.com</a> in the past for Windows Mobile testing. This was before the iPhone, they're still around and have iPhone support, so it may be helpful.<p>Once I got everything configured, it was pretty sweet. It wasn't hard to setup either.<p>The one thing is, from what I recall, they were a bit expensive. But they have free trials.<p>I also found this article that could be useful:<p><a href="http://www.softwarequalityconnection.com/2011/03/testing-apps-for-smartphones-and-mobile-devices-without-buying-out-the-store/" rel="nofollow">http://www.softwarequalityconnection.com/2011/03/testing-app...</a><p>There's a bunch of options for testing without buying a bunch of iOS devices. They also have more DeviceAnywhere-type services listed as well.<p>I hope this helps.
