Master Google Android: 30 Tips and Tricks

The first time you use an Android phone, one thing becomes immediately clear: You're not in Cupertino anymore.

Android is the antithesis of Apple's celebrated handset: It's open source, fully customizable, and free from unexplained app rejections. If the iPhone is Apple's inalterable masterpiece, the Android platform is Google's open canvas. The palette is in your hands; it's up to you to add color.

We've assembled 30 tips and tricks to help you make the most of your Android phone. Some are specific to Android 2.0 or later, but most apply to any Android-based device. And not one of these tricks requires you to jailbreak anything.

So grab your phone, and get started--it's time for you to become a certified Android master.
