CHAPTER SIX

HOW DO I GET THE MOST FROM THE ANDROID MARKET?

In this chapter:

  • Getting Familiar with the Market's Interface
  • Exploring the Android Apps Section
  • Paying for, Downloading, and Installing an App
  • Learning to Use an App
  • Managing Apps
  • Exploring Must-Have Apps
  • Exploring the Books Section

The Market app, available from the Motorola Xoom's Home screen, enables you to access the Market with a single tap. The Market is an online store where you can browse, buy, and download apps and books. In the Market you can easily find what you want; you can search by app names and book titles, by developer name or author, by what's most popular, by what's free, by what's featured, and more. The Market also enables you to rate, suggest, and comment on apps and books after you purchase them, among other things. (If you've moved the Market app, look under the Apps icon on any screen.)
