Hi, welcome to the Sony Forum.

With Android, well there are a wide variety of applications available so my best bet is have a look at the editors recommendations, top grossing apps via the Marketplace app itself. Also have a search online got "Top Android apps" etc. A lot of apps have "lite" versions which you can try first so I would say get stuck in.

As for accessories, well I would say grab yourself atleast one SD card so you can move and backup stuff to it. Third party applications such as Mobo Player can play movies straight off the SD card as the native applications cannot.

I would say, get yourself Doodle God and all of the Angry Bird games for your Tablet. Lot of fun. As for cables, well I have not bothered on those just yet. I do need to get myself a proper case first.

The great thing with Android, once you have mastered one device, the rest are really similar so you should have no problems in enjoying other devices also.

Have fun!

Dear tommysmith1980

Welcome to the world of Tablets

About Memory Cards -> The Tablet supports SD Cards.

If you want to buy SD Cards please check wich Class it is.

The higher the class, the higher the datatransfer-rate.

I for example bought myself a Sony SD with 32GB with class 10 (class 10 Supports transfer-rates up to 22MB/s which i think is one of the fastest on the market)

I had a 16GB SD Card Class 2 and 4 and when I transferred loads of data - it really cost me time.

If you have only small Data like low to mid quality pictures Class 4 is alright, but when it comes to vacation videos or whole photoalbums I think it wouldn't hurt to get yourself a faster SD card.

About the Games:

Try "Galaxy on Fire 2" a really nice HD quality game!

And N.O.V.A. 2 HD is also a recommendable game, as it is one of the first Games on Sony Tablet that uses the Gyrometer sensor.

have fun!
