From a computer, launch your preferred Web browser and navigate to www.google.com. 2. On the main page, click Sign-in > Create an account now. 3. Follow the onscreen prompts to create your free account. 4. Log into your provided email address, locate the email from Google, and respond to the new email to both confirm and activate your new account. Signing Into Your Google Account 1. Launch the application that requires a Google account (such as Android Market or Gmail). 2. Click Next > Sign in. Note: If you do not already have a Google account, touch Create and follow the onscreen prompts to create your new account. 3. Touch the Username and Password fields and enter your information. See "Entering Text with Onscreen Keyboard" on page 51 or "Entering Text using the QWERTY Keyboard" on page 55. 4. Tap Sign in. Your device then communicates with the Google servers to confirm your information. 5. Create a new Gmail username by entering a prefix for your @gmail.com email address.
