Meaning of widget icon?
I posted this on another forum that is more device driven when I think I should have posted here.

I installed a "Power" widget on my Coby MID7024 (Android 2.2) and it gives me a toolbar with four icons: a WiFi on/off, a tap to brighten icon, a USB device/host icon and then....

There is a round icon with two arrows, inside the icon, pointing in a clockwise direction that dims or brightens when you tap it but doesn't seem to do anything.

Can anybody tell me its purpose is?

Thanks - John

P.S.This is a very nice tablet. Well built and so far no problems that weren't caused by a direct short between the headset. I'll get the hang of it before to long.

Yes it's the background sync that is build into Android. What is syncs can be found in the "Settings -> Account & Sync" setup of the Android device.

By default it's the Google account like books, contacts, gmail, calendar,etc..
