Hi all! I've been lurking for about a week or so, after getting my NC as an early Christmas present.

First off, I wanted to thank KryptoNyte and bbz_ghost (whose instructions helped me convert some videos for my NC) and SCION (for a number of other tips and reassurances), as well as many of the other regulars here who have already helped me get up and running so quickly.

Was wondering if anyone could help with two questions I haven't quite seen the answer to.

1) Are there detailed instructions anywhere about using the stock browser? I've been trying to do simple things go back to the homepage, or (since it has an option for "opening in a new tab") figuring out how to switch from one open webpage to another. Stuff that's so intuitive on my computer or smartphone.

2) I'm getting awfully close to rooting my NC. Has anyone noticed how much more quickly using apps have been draining your phone? I'm used to my Android-based phone losing juice *really* quickly if I'm, say, playing Angry Birds, and wondering if it's any different on the NC.

Thanks all and happy to finally be "official"!
