Like all owners of new devices, I had to learn how to get the most out of my Samsung Galaxy Tab. I had some knowledge of what might work, built from my past experiences with my laptops and my iphone. So rather than read any kind of manual, I just played around with whatever I could. My first question was what the four icons just below the screen would do. After a little experimenting, I turned to Google. After a little searching I found this image and the blog post it was embedded in – http://linuxandfriends.com/2011/02/05/samsung-galaxy-tab-review-part-i/
So I had my answer and I began to play with the Settings button on different apps.

I used the Wallpaper button to change from the default desert scene to the autumn leaves falling onto a pond reflecting trees. I haven’t figured out yet how to remove the two empty video icons, and would be glad of some advice on that.

As you can see, I have lots of different apps and can do a number of things with them. I thought it was time to learn more about system icons, and found my answers here – http://androidforums.com/galaxy-tab-tips-tricks/314192-all-samsung-galaxy-tab-tips-tricks.html
That was a start, and now I’m off to ply and learn some more!
If you tap and hold your finger on an icon on the home screen, the Applications icon at the bottom changes to a trash can. Move the icon to the trash can to remove it from the home screen. It won’t actually delete the app; you can always access it from the Applications screen.
