Why use a Google Account?

A Google Account lets you organize and access your personal in- formation from any computer or mobile device:

Use Google Play. Google Play brings together all your favorite content in one place: movies, books, music, magazines, apps, and more. When you sign in with your Google Account, you can reach any of this content from any of your devices – as long as you have a network connection. You can also shop for more in the Google Play store.

Access from anywhere. Check your latest calendar, email, text messages, or social stream, no matter what computer or mo- bile device you’re using.

Simplify shopping. You can connect your Google account with
