Android™ – what and why?

An Android™ phone can perform many of the same functions as a computer. But you can also adjust it to better suit your needs, to receive the information you want, and have fun at the same time. You can add and delete applications, or enhance them to improve functionality. You can also integrate applications on your Android™ phone with your personal data and online accounts. For example, you can back up your phone contacts, access your different email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of your appointments, and engage in as much social networking as you like.

Android™ phones are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available and your phone supports this new software, you can update your phone to get new features and the latest improvements.

Applications

An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For example, there are applications to make calls, take photos and download more applications.
