Testing Mobile Applications

How are you testing your mobile applications? With the rapid increase this is a growing requirement. Depending on your implementation some of the testing can be performed using emulators, etc. Ultimately you have to test on target devices.

Are you using any automated software? How about unit testing? Perhaps, with applications using multiple layers, or a hybrid approach, there are many different points requiring testing.

Are you finding synchronization issues when transferring data that is cached until a connection to the host can be obtained? How are you testing synchronization scenarios?

What would you say the biggest hurdle has been for testing your mobile applications?
