The Home screen

When you start your tablet, or wake it from power saving, it will display
the Home screen. This screen gives you quick access to information
and simple controls with widgets or shortcuts to APPs. Widgets
display information such as the time and weather, or provide
additional controls and direct access to APPs. Some have been pre-
installed on your tablet, while others may be downloaded from Google
Play.
The Home screen already features some useful controls and
information.
Note
Bundled APPs differ depending on region and configuration.
Search
To search for APPs, files or for information on the internet,
tap the Google bar at the top.
Simply enter the text you want to find. Tap the arrow or Enter key to
search the internet, or tap one of the suggestions, APPs or files
shown in the list.
