The Home screen

When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display the Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to information and simple controls with widgets or shortcuts. These display information such as the time and favorite bookmarks, or provide additional controls and direct access to applications. Some have been pre-installed on your tablet, while others may be downloaded from the Android Market.

The Home screen already features some useful controls and information.
