Opening and switching applications

The Launcher, which you open from the Home screen, holds icons for

all of the applications on your phone, including any applications that you

downloaded and installed from Market or other sources.

When you open an application, the other applications you have been

using do not stop; they keep on running: playing music, rendering

web pages, and so on. You can quickly switch between your running

applications to work with several at once. The Android operating system

and applications work together to ensure that applications that you are

not using do not consume resources unnecessarily, by stopping and

starting them as needed. For this reason, there is no need or facility for

quitting applications.

NOTE

To learn how to discover and install additional applications and

games on your phone, see “Android Market” on page 248.
