Intro to Android on the enTourage eDGe

Your device is running Google Android, an operating system created for mobile devices like smart phones. It's easy to use, but is different from a Mac or a PC in several ways.
Let's start with the home screen, which you can access by pressing the Home button.
It functions like a computer desktop, but it extends beyond what you can see on the screen.
Touch and drag sideways to reveal hidden areas where you can add more shortcuts.
To move an item on your home screen, first touch and hold it.
Drag it to a new location...
Or, to remove it, drag it to the trash can near the bottom of the screen.
Touch and hold a blank spot on the home screen to add shortcuts, widgets, or folders.
Or touch "Wallpapers" to choose a new background for your home screen.
Touch and drag to make a selection.
The notification bar at the top of the screen tells you what's happening on your device.
The right side has a clock, and settings such as battery life and wireless connectivity.
The left side displays notifications, for example, if you insert a USB stick or receive a new email.
To read notification details, touch the center of the notification bar and drag down.
You can sometimes touch a notification from the list to open the relevant app.
In Android, unlike on a computer, the option to cancel or close won't always appear on the screen.
Instead, use the Back button. It will return you to the previous screen, which will sometimes be the last app you had open.
Press and hold the Home button for shortcuts to the most recently used applications.
To save screen space, many apps hide some of their functions -- even important ones.
To reveal them, press the Menu button beside the screen.
This hidden menu is especially useful in the Email app...
...and the Browser.
Even more functions are sometimes available if you press and hold the screen.
The keyboard will appear if you touch a text box...
... but you can also press and hold the Menu button to show or hide the keyboard.
Touch the Apps Menu tab to see all of your applications.
Touch an app to open it, or hold and drag it to your home screen to make a shortcut.

Can this run Flash in the web browser? If so, I am getting one right this second.
