We are pleased to announce that we have added **Samsung Galaxy Tab testing** to our Selenium grid.

Starting today our paying customers can run their tests on Samsung Galaxy Tab emulators running on a Linux node. These nodes are optimised to run the emulator with enough RAM and CPU.

As always, you will have access to all test results together with screenshots and a video of the test.

In the following example you will see a simple Ruby script using Webdriver to test on a Galaxy Tab in our cloud:

```ruby
require "rubygems"
gem "selenium-client"
gem "selenium-webdriver"
require "selenium-webdriver"
require "selenium/client"

caps = {
  :browserName => "galaxytab",
  :platform => "ANDROID"
}

client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new
client.timeout = 480

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for(
  :remote,
  :url => "http://key:secret@hub.testingbot.com:4444/wd/hub",
  :http_client => client,
  :desired_capabilities => caps)
driver.navigate.to "http://www.google.com"
element = driver.find_element(:name, 'q')
element.send_keys "Hello WebDriver!"
element.submit
puts driver.title
driver.quit
```

By modifying the browserName in the example above to "android", you can also run your test on our [Android Ice Cream Sandwich Phone emulator](https://testingbot.com/blog/2012/01/16/mobile-testing-with-selenium-and-android-ice-cream-sandwich). More information is available in our [app automation documentation](https://testingbot.com/support/app-automate).

In the meantime we are working on supporting more mobile devices in our cloud, so stay tuned for further updates. To see a full list of browsers/devices/OS versions we support, please consult the [TestingBot browser page](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/browsers).
