'''Test Center - Android Devices''' | |||
Through use of the software, users have the ability to subscribe to various handsets either by manufacturer or carrier (Mozilla subscribes to Android). The filter feature below the package bar allows one to find the exact device one is looking for so you won't have to search through a long list. The various icons on the right side of the device list will let you know the status of the device (available/offline/under maintenance). For popular devices, multiple device copies are offered so device contention is not an issue. If you need to acquire a device for specific date or time, there is a reservation feature to book in advance, available by right click context menu. | Through use of the software, users have the ability to subscribe to various handsets either by manufacturer or carrier (Mozilla subscribes to Android).
