Your Samsung Galaxy tablet’s web-browsing app is named Internet. Yeah, that’s kind of generic, but it’s the app you open when you desire to surf the ’net. Find that app on the Apps screen or perhaps as a shortcut icon affixed to the Home screen. Here is an illustration of the Internet app’s interface.

Here are some handy tablet web-browsing tips:

  • Pan the web page by dragging your finger across the touchscreen. You can pan up, down, left, or right when the page is larger than the tablet’s screen.

  • Pinch the screen to zoom out and spread two fingers to zoom in.

  • The page you see may be the mobile page, or a customized version of the web page designed for small-screen devices. To see the non-mobile version, touch the Menu button and choose the Desktop View command.

  • The Search icon may change to a Microphone icon. If so, touch that icon to give a voice command to the Internet app.

  • Reorient the tablet between vertical and horizontal positions to improve the appearance of web pages. Sometimes it’s easier to read a page in the vertical orientation, but the horizontal orientation may better present information.

The first time you fire up the Internet app on your tablet, you may see the Samsung Galaxy tablet registration page. Register your tablet to receive sundry Samsung bonus stuff — or not. Registration is optional.

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office. He publishes a free weekly computer newsletter, “Weekly Wambooli Salad,” and also maintains the vast and helpful Web site www.wambooli.com.
