When you sign in to your tablet
pc with a Google account, all the Contacts you associate with that
account in the People app are automatically backed up. As a result,
They're always accessible through your Gmail account from any
computer.
■
Synchronize and back up everything.
Whether you draft an email,
add a contact's ph
one Number, add an event to your calendar, or
take a photo, your work gets backed up continuously by Google and
synchronized with any computer where you use the same Google
Account.
■
Access from anywhere.
Check your latest calendar, email, text
messages, or social stream,Wherever you are, no matter what
computer or mobile device you're using.
■
Keep your stuff secure and available.
Google works round the clock
to protect your personal data from unauthoriz
ed access and to ensure
that you get it when you need it, wherever you need it.
■

full advantage of any other Google apps and services that you may
