Trying to display slightly dividend  ads  depending on the device/os of the user :

local device = system.getInfo( "model" ) if (device == "Android") then         ads.show( "banner", { x=display.screenOriginX, y=400 } ) elseif (device == "iPad") then         ads.show( "banner", { x=display.screenOriginX, y=440 } ) elseif (device == "iPhone") then         ads.show( "banner", { x=display.screenOriginX, y=440 } )         end

&

if(system.getInfo("model") == "iPad" or system.getInfo("model") == "iPhone") then     ads.show( "banner", { x=display.screenOriginX, y=440 } ) elseif(system.getInfo("model") == "Nexus One" or system.getInfo("model") == "Droid") or system.getInfo("model") == "Galaxy Tab") then     ads.show( "banner", { x=display.screenOriginX, y=400 } ) else   print('Do something else.') end  

I have tried this code but whiteout any luck, can some one point me in the right direction?
