Android™ - What And Why; Applications - Sony Xperia Sola MT27i User Manual

Android™ – what and why?
An Android™ phone can perform many of the same functions as a computer and you
can customise it to your own needs. For example, you can add and delete applications,
or enhance existing applications to improve functionality. You can also integrate
applications on your Android™ phone with other applications and with online services
that you use. For example, you can back up your phone contacts, access your different
email accounts and calendars from one place, keep track of your appointments, and
engage in social networking.
Android™ phones are constantly evolving. When a new software version is available and
your phone supports this new software, you can update your phone to get new features
and the latest improvements.
New software releases may not be compatible with all phones.

Applications

An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For example, there are
applications to make calls, take photos and download more applications.
