Whenever an Android device is powered up for the very first time, it asks for a Gmail account to be associated with it. Once set up it automatically syncs Gmail, calendar dates and contacts, meaning you’ll never have to copy data from your device to your computer. It’s possible to add further Gmail accounts, or even a Facebook, Twitter or Exchange account. You can swap between them, enabling your phone to be used for personal and business purposes.
