CHAPTER 11: Surfing the Web

Why Do Some Videos and Sites Not Appear? (Flash Player Required)
Some web sites are designed with Adobe Flash Player. At the time of this writing, the DROID fully
support Adobe Flash through the Flash “lite” app that is making its way onto select Android
phones.
Go to the Android Market, look for Flash Player, and install in. Learn how to download apps from
the Android Market in Chapter 17: “Exploring the Android Market.”
If you tap a video and the video does not play, or you see something like “Flash Plugin Required,”
“Download the Latest Flash Plugin to view this video,” or “Adobe Flash Required to view this
site,” you will need to update your operating system to view the video or web page.
An Internet Connection Is Required
You do need an Internet connection on your DROID via Wi-Fi or 3G to browse the web.
Check out the Chapter 5: “Wi-Fi and 3G Connectivity” to learn more.
Launching the Web Browser
You should find the web browser icon on your initial Home screen.
Usually the Browser icon is in the bottom row of icons on your Home
screen.
Touch the Browser icon,
and you will be taken to
the browser’s home page.
Most likely, this will be the
Google start page.
Just turn your DROID on
its side to see the same
page in wider landscape
mode. As you find web
sites you like, you can set
bookmarks to easily jump
to these sites. We will
show you how to do that
later in this chapter.
View web pages in
portrait mode.
Or, turn your
DROID on its side
to see them in
landscape mode.
