DeviceAnywhere lets devs play with 500 phones over the net

DeviceAnywhere is a company that wires cellphone hardware into servers, which are then accessible over the internet.

Every input and output on the dissected iPhone is electrically hooked up to the net, providing access to would-be iPhone programmers over the web.
