[Q] Android Apps Questions

---

I am new to the Android Market. I just got the Transformer but I have had an IPhone for years so maybe that is why I am confused.

Lets says if I do a Search for Facebook apps...tons of apps that don't even have facebook in the name or description come up. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?

Another question, then when I do one of the side options how come it only lets me see a few? I am sure there is way more then what it is showing me.

Thanks in advance.

No, you aren't doing it wrong. Dev's can "tag" their apps with search keywords. So, anything that interfaces with Facebook in some manner could have a facebook keyword - it would be up to the user to determine if the app fits the need. An app could be one like "Flow" which a user could interface directly with facebook with - or, it could be a plugin for another app/widget that allows the user to view posts or pictures from facebook.

Not sure what you mean by "side options" - which screen? the general screen, a particular application's preview/order screen?

Oh thanks makes sense now. I meant like if you click app store Entertainment you cant seem to browse all of them. Also is there a way to get rid of the scrolling apps on top?
