Access, YES. Buy devices, NO. (Score 1)

If web-devs need to check their websites on 40+ mobile devices, 5+ browsers, 4+ operating systems, ... this ends up with testing more than 200 combinations and ~$15k in infrastructure. Sounds like fun. Anyhow, there are services like https://testobject.com/ (I'm one of the founders) where you get access to real devices in your browser. We hope this will ease the pain of fragmentation.
