Market
Android Market™ is the place to go to find new apps for your phone. Choose from a
wide variety of free and paid apps ranging from productivity apps, entertainment, to
games. When you find an app you want, you can easily download and install it on your
phone with just a few taps of your finger.
To access Android Market, you must first connect to the Internet using your phone’s
Wi-Fi or data connection and sign in to your Google Account.
Paid apps are currently only available in certain countries.
Finding and installing an app
When you install apps from Android Market and use them on your phone, they may
require access to your personal information (such as your location, contact data, and
more) or access to certain functions or settings of your phone. Download and install
only apps that you trust.
You need a Google Checkout account to purchase items on Android Market. See “Creating a
Google Checkout account” to set up a Google Checkout account if you do not have one.
