content experience and allow users to engage with thousands of sites
with rich Adobe Flash Player compatible applications and content
including games, animations, rich Internet applications (RIAs), data

content like a description or history. In addition, with a camera, users

than 150,000 applications available for download from the Android
Market .

Calendar, and social networking services are displayed together in one
calendar with two-way synchronization.
