Using Marketplace to find applications

- By default, the Marketplace icon can be found on the Start screen. Tap it to launch.

- Once it loads, you can flick left or right to browse through the various menus of the Marketplace. You can also tap the search button to perform a search.

- The first menu you are shown will display your messages and whether any updates are required. The next menu allows you to search apps by category.

- When searching for an app in a category, you can also sort that category in different ways by flicking left or right.

- Search for an app and tap on it to see the price, rating, description and more information like user reviews.

- When looking at an app, you can choose to install or share that app. Sharing it allows you to share that app through messaging or email.

- If you're purchasing a paid application, then you'll need to have a credit card associated with your account at Zune.net.

- Otherwise, simply choose to allow or disallow the application and then tap install.
