Applications
An application is a program on your device that helps
you perform a task. For example, there are applications
to make calls, take photos and download more
applications.
Status and notifications
The status bar at the top of your screen shows what's
going on in your device. For example, new message
and calendar notifications appear here.
Checking notifications and ongoing
activities
You can drag down the status bar to open the
Notification panel and get more information. For
example, you can use the panel to open a new
message or view a calendar event. You can also open
some applications that run in the background, such as
the music player.
