Choose carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work, or just for fun. But remember,
choose your apps carefully. Here's a few tips to help:
•To help prevent spyware, phishing or viruses affecting
your tablet or privacy, use apps from trusted sites, like
Market.
•In Android Market, check the apps’ ratings and
comments before installing. This will help you choose
the best ones for you.
•If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.
•Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,
data, battery, and processing power—some more
than others. After installing an app, if you're not happy
with how much memory, data, battery or processing
power it's using, uninstall it. You can always install it
again later.
