Droid X Apps

My new Droid X computer/phone can do some amazing things for such a small piece of equipment and the basic Droid X apps it comes with help you set up your computer/phone to get you started using it. These apps will provide you the ability to use practical useful information to streamline your everyday life. They will also offer you a diverse selection of entertainment. You just need to decide what you need and how you want to set your computer/phone up to make your life as efficient as possible.

The Home Screen of the Droid X computer/phone is wider than average phones. You can swipe your finger to the left or right across the main Home Screen and the screen will slide over to a new page each time you swipe the screen. The Home Screen will extend out to three different screens in each direction for a total of seven Home Screens. All of this extra Home Screen room gives you more space to place all the Droid X apps and widgets that you find yourself using regularly. Each screen of the Home Screen can only hold a certain amount of apps (short for application or another word for software). Before you move apps from the Applications Tray to the Home Screens check all of them out to see which ones you want to move to the Home Screens. The icons won't disappear from the Application Tray after you move them to the Home Screen but having your most used apps on the Home Screens makes access faster (especially after you start adding more apps to the Applications Tray).

The initial supply of apps that came with your computer/phone are really cool. But most of us have other interests that we would like to add to our Applications Tray. Where do we find these extra applications? Go to the Market App in your App Tray or on the Main Home Screen. The screen that comes up will allow you to browse for apps, games, or special apps from Verizon by touching the icon of the type of apps you want to begin browsing through. There are thousands and thousands of apps to browse through!! You can also touch the Search for Apps icon on the screen (the Magnifying Glass) and search for other kinds of apps not listed on the screen. You'll also notice that you have a selection of apps that are free and others that you need to pay for. Prices will vary.

It's absolutely amazing how many applications there are to choose from. I'm looking forward to figuring out how to watch television shows on my computer/phone. I have to prepare for any road trips that might come up. Research through the thousands of Droid X apps will keep us all busy for a long time to come. How exciting!!
