Opening and Switching Applications
Multi-tasking is easy with Android
TM
because open applications keep
running even when you open another application. There’s no need to quit an
application before opening another. You can use and switch among several
open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting
them as needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t consume resources
unnecessarily.
Opening an application
Open an application simply by touching its icon on the screen.
TIP
You can customize your Home screen with the application icons you use most often.
Applications are located on the Applications screen, but you can copy any application icon
to your Home screen for faster access. No matter where the icon is, on the Applications
screen or your Home screen, just touch it to open and use it.
