Finding More Places to Charge Your Droid
No matter what you do, you will want to find more places and more ways to charge your
DROID if you use it a lot. Table 1–1 shows you some other options for charging your
DROID besides using your power cord or connecting it to your computer.
Table 1–1. Other Places and Ways to Charge Your DROID.
Option Description
Airport Charging Station Most airports have wall sockets available today where you
can top off your DROID’s battery while you are waiting for
your flight. Some airports have labeled charging stations,
and others simply have wall sockets that may even be
hidden behind chairs or other objects. You may have to do
a bit of hunting to beat out all those other power-hungry
travelers!
Car Charger Accessory If you are using your DROID heavily for phone calls during
the day, you may want to invest in a car charger or some
other way to give your DROID a little more juice in the
middle of a long day. These chargers plug directly into the
cigarette lighter socket in your car. These run about US
$15–25.
Car Power Inverter If you are taking a long car trip, you can buy a power
inverter to convert your 12V car power outlets into a power
outlet that lets you plug in your DROID charger. Do a web
search for “power inverter for cars” to find many options
for under US $50. This is a small price to pay for hours of
enjoyment on your DROID!
Setting up Accounts on Your DROID
You need to link to at least one Google account on your DROID. You can also connect
to many other types of accounts (e.g., email, social networking, corporate, and photo).
In this section, we explain the basics of setting up various types of accounts.
