Perfecto Mobile Offering 2 Hours of Testing for Devs on BlackBerry 7 Devices

Perfecto Mobile has put up a new offer for BlackBerry devs giving them 2 hours of free access to their MobileCloud platform. While not as much as the 30 free hours they offered previously this lets developers test their apps on real BlackBerrys which are live on mobile networks around the world. Devs can then use the device as if they were holding it through the MobileCloud. This new offer comes just when Perfecto has added the lineup of BlackBerry 7 devices to the Mobile Cloud including the 9900, 9810, and 9850.

Devs can sign up for the free trial giving them 2 hours after which each hour is discounted at $4. Check out the details at this link on Perfecto’s website or on the RIM Blog.

BlackBerry Torch 2 9810 Simulator Found Online – Newer Than Official Version

The march goes on for the upcoming BlackBerry smartphone lineup. The latest glimpse we have is a simulator for the unannounced BlackBerry Torch 9810 AKA the Torch 2. This device fits in the same form factor and the current Torch with some added goodness and a blazing fast 1.2Ghz CPU.

RIM did previously release a simulator for the BlackBerry 9810 but has not confirmed what the model name is. The version they released is running OS 7.0.0.103 while this leak is running 7.0.0.181. If you need to test out apps or want to see features this will probably give you a better baseline to compare to.
