Looking for fast access to bookmarks without having to navigate through the Android browser? Bookmarks can be quickly added to any Home screen on the device for one-touch access to your favorite Web pages. Here's how:
If a bookmark doesn't exist for the page you want to add:
1. Open the browser and navigate to the page you'd like to bookmark.
