Google on the Go: Using an Android-Powered Mobile Phone

Google on the Go is the perfect hands-on guide to any Google Android smartphone – both the hot new T-Mobile G1 and all the competitive Google Android phones that will soon follow it. Written for typical consumers — not hackers or programmers — this casual, friendly book shows exactly how to use each of the Google Phone’s most important and powerful features.

The authors begin with a tour of the Google Android phone, showing how to use each of its essential calling and voicemail features. Next, they turn to Google Android’s built-in applications, showing how to work with contacts; use the local calendar to coordinate your activities with others; take pictures; use your phone as a personal media player; and more.

Google on the Go includes easy-to-understand coverage of Google Android’s essential Internet features, from web browsing and Gmail email to the Google Application Suite. Users will even learn how to add additional programs to their phones. The book concludes with a full chapter of easy, plain-English troubleshooting steps for non-technical users, as well as a brief introduction to advanced topics such as customization.
