Sony Ericsson has teamed up with Perfecto Mobile to offer mobile developers a free 7-hour trial of cloud-based handset testing service. Remote device testing enables developers to be sure the application works on a real device even though it is not in hand. Through the service developers can quickly and easily install your mobile application on to any selected Sony Ericsson handset.

The service runs in a Web-based UI (Flash) and is fully hosted by Perfecto Mobile. However the catch for now is that the service is not yet fully opened to all members of the Sony Ericsson developer world. Quoting from the source, "Please note: This offer is open to the first 100 users to sign up at Perfecto Mobile's website. We are working with Perfecto Mobile to enable your new Sony Ericsson MyAccount to provide access to the service, and will then open the offer to all Developer World members".
