PlayNow™ is a direct-link download application. PlayNow™ users can connect to a live list of top music hits, videos, games and pictures. Content can be previewed before purchasing.

RSS Reader

RSS provides a way for Web sites to distribute their content outside of a Web browser. With the RSS Feeds application the user gets information from selected sites on the Internet into an easy-to-view format without having to browse the Web.

Simplified multitasking

When Task manager is accessed, the screen from which the application is launched does not disappear. It will still be visible as a background screen in G900c, while the list of recent applications pop-ups from the bottom of the screen. This has proven to be a more effective and user-friendly way of presenting the Task manager feature for the user.
