After startup has completed, the Android 4.1 homescreen appears:
The default home screen has several shortcuts in the middle of the screen which you can
freely activate, remove, add to or adjust. The title underneath the icon explains its
purpose. The four ‘manual’ icons are manuals in the languages English (ENG), French
(FRA), Dutch (HOL) and German (GER).

Google Search is a quick shortcut to
search the web
by typing key words. The
microphone icon next to it allows you to search by speaking the key words using the
built-in microphone. Google will try to recognize the spoken words and insert them as text
in the search bar.
