Opening and switching applications
The Applications tab, on the Home screen, holds icons for all the applications on
your phone, including any applications that you downloaded and installed from
Android Market or other sources.
When you open an application, its screens open, but the current application doesn't
stop, it remains running: playing music, rendering a webpage, and so on. You can
quickly switch among your open applications, to work with several at once.
See "Market" on page 245 to learn how to discover and install additional
applications and games on your phone.
