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 G900, 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.

and select music on their PCs or audio CDs and convert existing audio tracks to formats that are suitable
for mobile use before transferring them to their phones. They can also subscribe to feeds, such as video
and music podcasts.
