'There's just not enough demand now for Android tablet apps'
Interesting. Doesn't bode well for the Touchpad or the Playbook. You get the feeling that Apple, MS and Google + partners are going to take this thing...

That plus the fact that very nearly ALL android apps work just fine on my 7" Galaxy Tab (Froyo).

In other words, from what I've seen, Android scales up the apps pretty well. I don't see a lot of apps that need optimizing for tablets. The problem I've had is in the opposite direction: I can't get tablet-optimized apps on my tablet because I can't run Honeycomb on it. |

Android apps scale VERY well. Honestly, I don't really think you NEED tablet versions of apps on a 7" tablet - gmail is perfect on my NC. I can see it on a 10" device though - the real estate is a bit wasted on those. |

Sorry if I sounded sarcastic, it's a reaction to the original blog cited in the OP. I get so tired of fanboi bloggers trying to justify (by implication) why iOS reigns, and upstart Android sux. Last edited by wodin; 07-01-2011 at 01:27 PM. |

232 seems to be the number of apps.
