I downloaded Dolphin browser from SlideMe last night. It installed smoothly and seems to work well. I still have to download instructions on how to use all it's features. Eventually I want to learn how to download web pages to the tablet for reading them when I am off line.
I also downloaded EZ File manager, but when I tried to install it, the app disappeared from the screen. I'll try a different one tomorrow. I haven't found any file manager on the tablet as shipped.
I finally have Swype keyboard installed and working. It took me 3 tries to install it. A couple of times the tablet rebooted. Learning to use Swype is going to take some time. I need to look at more of the tutorials. The Swype keyboard has numbers and symbols in the upper right corner of each letter key. If I press and hold on the key, Swype will give me that number or symbol. It appears that I was Swyping too slowly, so Swype interpreted some of my letters as numbers.
I am getting the hang of scrolling the screen. The key seems to be to keep my finger pressure on the screen as I scroll. If I lift my finger too soon, the tablet thinks I am selecting an icon or row.
I am also getting the hang of filling out fields on a web page using the screen keyboard. Once I type my info into the first field and I hit the Next key, I can continue entering info into the next field. The problem I was having is that I have to press the Back button to go back to the web page and see what the next field is asking me to enter. I think I've got it now, and more importantly, the tablet knows enough to advance to the next field by itself.
