Hello, everyone! I'm in my first forum with my first question. I have a semi-smart phone that still has me totally confused, so naturally I go and buy a tablet. The Iconia One 7 looks really cool, and I've managed to set the date and the time. If I can't figure out how to use it properly, at least I'll have a nifty clock. Thanks in advance for your help, and I'll try not to ask too many dumb questions -- Ms. Newbie

    The initial factory apps aren't removable, though you can remove any app you install yourself. Some versions of Android do let you disable some of the factory apps though, they're just not actually removed.

    Well, shoot. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll have to get used to my apps cluttered up with games and such.<sigh> I appreciate the help; I'm sure I'll have more questions after I finish reading through the manual. Linda

    Of course you don't have to keep their icons hanging around your screens...

    You can delete factory apps IF you root the device but it CAN void warranty and if you aren't 100% of what you are doing you can delete the wrong thing and brick your tablet.
