I have a Xoom. And this is a particularly ridiculous claim. There are thousands of apps for Honeycomb. I've tried hundreds. (I've only found two apps that don't work.)
But if you go to the new Market app on Honeycomb and click on Android Apps for Tablets you will see a limited number of apps. For the first few days it was only 16. Now it seems to be an infinitely scrolling list of 20. Go figure. But most everything else on the Market runs on the Xoom and most run without a problem. And unlike iPhone apps on the iPad, most Android apps have been designed to scale their layouts and text is not aliased. And example of an app that works poorly is the Facebook app which displays a block of thumbnails in a small block at the top of the screen. (You can point out to Mr. Jobs that Facebook has so far declined to make a native app for the iPad. And like the iPad Facebook.com works perfectly nicely in the browser. In fact, once they get Flash on this thing (ahem, Adobe...) Facebook.com in the browser on Honeycomb will mop the floor.) Most of the problems you see with existing Android apps on Honeycomb are that they stretch a smartphone layout across the entire screen (minus the new bar at the bottom). This results in list boxes that stretch the entire width of the screen. e.g. the Twitter app. It's also common to have buttons and text fields that stretch across the screen. But it's pretty hard to argue that Kindle, Google Earth, Docs To Go, IMDB, Angry Birds, Repligo Reader, Twidroyd etc are not tablet apps. Sure their layouts can and will be improved, but they are fully functional and text is normal sized. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
