IMHO if you own a 7" device, you don't really need native tablet apps. In fact, I don't think you even need Honeycomb. For example, 2.3 (Gingerbread) runs great on the Samsung Galaxy Tab and Nook Color.

Now, if you have a 10" device, it seems like a waste if the apps don't take advantage of the screen real estate. If there truly are only 232 android tablet apps, that's a huge problem. If HP can launch with 300, then there's no excuse for android.

It's a shame really, because there are three excellent large screen android tablets on the market now (Asus Transformer, Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Toshiba Thrive).
