    Android Market is also available on your computer—go to  market.android.com
    . From here you can browse the 
    Market and manage your apps on all your Android devices (select “My Market Account”).Choose carefullyApps are great. Theres something for everyone. Play, communicate, work, or just for fun. But remember, choose your apps carefully. Heres 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, dont install it.  Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,  data, battery, and processing power—some more than others. For example, a simple settings widget will use less than a streaming music  
    player app. After installing  
    an app, if youre not happy with how much memory, data, battery or processing power its using, uninstall it. You can always install it again later.
