Greetings,

"Android has become the world's dominant mobile operating system," says author Preston Gralla, "and
the Droid X2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab are two of the most powerful, cutting-edge devices making
use of the latest version of Android. However, these devices are actually very powerful computers
with remarkably sophisticated capabilities, and I want people to use the limits of their
capabilities, without having to struggle."

With "Droid X2: The Missing Manual, Second Edition" and "Galaxy Tab: The Missing Manual," readers
will be able to confidently use all of the features and capabilities, and customize any settings so
that the devices work exactly the way they want.
