Can I change my primary Google
account on my tablet?
The Google account you first use when setting up your ViewPad will be the primary
account associated with the device. All Google services such as GMail, Calendar, Maps
and Android Market will be tied to that account. There is no option to change or remove
this account.
The only way to remove the primary Google account is to restore the device to its factory
default setting. You can do this in the Settings menu under Privacy > Factory data reset.
Performing factory reset will erase all personal data from the device, including system
and applications data, settings, downloaded applications and your Google account.
Current system and bundled applications, as well as SD card files such as music and
photos, will not be removed.
