Step 4 – Got Google?
A Google Account lets you organize and access your personal
information from any computer or mobile device:
•
Never lose your contacts again. When you sign in to your device
with a Google account, all the contacts you associate with that
account in the People app are automatically backed up. As a
result, they're always accessible through your Gmail account from
any computer.
•
Synchronize and back up everything. Whether you draft an email,
add a contact's phone number, add an event to your calendar,
work gets backed up continuously by Google and synchronized
with any computer where you use the same Google Account.
•
Access from anywhere. Check your latest calendar, email, text
messages, or social stream, wherever you are, no matter what
computer or mobile device you're using.
•
Use other Google services. Your Google Account also lets you
take full advantage of any other Google apps and services that you
may want to use, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Navigation,
Google Play, YouTube, Google Talk, Messaging, and many more.
Note:
If you do not already have a free Google account, it is strongly
recommended you set-up a free Google account when using the Setup
wizard on this device in order to get the optimum use from this tablet.
