Donate Your Dusty Device
Put your old devices to good use
BERLIN, January 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Start clutter-free into the new year - and help Open Device Labs (ODLs) around the
globe with their initiative "Donate Your Dusty Device" on
http://OpenDeviceLab.com/DYDD.
Open Device Labs (ODLs) are shared community pools of internet connected devices such
as smartphones, tablets or consoles, and are open for developers to test their websites
and apps.
If you just got yourself a new smartphone or tablet and are looking for a helpful new
use for your old device, consider donating it to an Open Device Lab. Over 90 Labs have
been established already at locations worldwide. Everyone benefits from access to a free
device testing pool - including donators.
Websites or apps unfortunately do not always work as expected, especially across
mobile devices. There are around 20,000 different models, and about 15 new devices are
released every week. Each variant of a device is unique and comes with its own technical
quirks and hurdles. Having access to these varied devices, both modern and older, is
critical for testing the user experience but often poses problems to developers creating
new content.
As a comparison: car manufacturers calculate a significant portion of cost of a car
for testing purposes. But when it comes to the production of digital experiences, budget
cuts are very likely to hit the test budgets first. People who support ODLs with device
donations are supporting local and international developers and their users, independent
of manufacturers or brands.
If you just decided to support an Open Device Lab, go to
http://OpenDeviceLab.com/DYDD now. Only three easy steps separate your functional old
device from a meaningful new existence for the greater good.
