And most of the major faults in the OS were fixed with Ice Cream - Are you
saying you have access to Ice Cream, or did you mean 3.1 which is still
Honeycomb?
As a side note if a company puts out an app then the company takes
responsibility for it. Personally I really don't care if Market,
I've only built apps that work in any resolution, so the only real
distinctions between different Android devices that affects me is how much
memory they allow the app to use, level of API, etc.

I don't think so, not from our point of view.
We are just starting to adapt fome of our apps for Tablets and have
started a new project specifically for Honeycomb tablets... it just
takes time to get ramped up, and because the market is still fairly
small, its hard to justify... however it will
That's an obvious answer, sure, but it doesn't actually bear any relation as
to whether an app is tablet-optimized. I've set those things on most of my
apps, because they basically work on Honeycomb (now) and I want to get the
ActionBar, but beyond that none of them are truly optimized for the
A good example of a potentially difficult to auto-filter is TouchNote. It's one
APK for both 'phones and Honeycomb tablets, and the tablet experience is
different from the 'phone one as you would expect from any tablet optimised app

The only way to see the difference is to actually use it,
The main reason for the suck of the CNN Honeycomb app is not
Honeycomb, but CNN's advertising department. The team for that app
actually went out to Google and worked with the Honeycomb team to made
it an example of how Honeycomb should be done. The development version
of the app performs
Quite a sensationalist headline for having reviewed one app, in my opinion.
I've found a number of apps that are far better than the CNN app. I've
built a few apps for Honeycomb and have really enjoyed the experience of
being able to think differently than I would in a traditional phone app.
The Xoom is a nice first pass, but wait until you get a Samsung Galaxy Tab
10.1 (or similar). The Ipad2 form factor (which the Tab 10.1 imitates and
surpasses) is very compelling. The Xoom seems heavy and washed out
(visually) by comparison. All successful tablets will have to be at the

If only I could buy all the tablets out there :-) Guess I should have
passed on the Xoom...
In terms of apps and OS, I like Android / Honeycomb far better than
Ipad2/IOS. Some apps are certainly
It is because the standard buttons (Home, Back, Search, and Menu) are
on the bottom of the screen. On many phones these are soft, meaning
not hardware. It is bad practice to put anything else there you have
to push. You don't want your user trying to select a different tab in
your app, and

Being right handed, I personally prefer soft buttons on the lower right, ie
Cyanogen Gingerbread + tablet tweaks with buttons on left unchecked.
Well, I'd really prefer
There's a simple fix for the crashes when launched in portrait mode.
A woman goes to a doctor and tells him Doctor, my arm hurts when I do
this. Doctor replies Well then, don't do that.
Same for the Xoom. Piss poor, but what else can you do?

Honeycomb has a fair few frustrations built in. The app works fine for
me in portrait mode. Well as fine as it does in landscape mode. Maybe
this is something they fixed in 3.1. Too bad 3.1 isn't properly
available for Xoom owners outside of the US.It is scary bad it crashes

In your blog, you are reviewing the CNN app for Honeycomb. And i have to
admit: It is wickedly slow going from one article to another.
Have you tried any other app written for Honeycomb, like Flixster (Movies),
USA Today, TweetCaster HD?
BTW: The top right corner should be reserved for the
Up is in the top left, not the top right. The top right is for
actions/the overflow menu.

I haven't found those apps and I have up trying but I'll download them
now! Just thought the CNN would be ultimate tablet app to look at
since the app I am coding at is targeted at much the same audience.
Ok, UP vs back. Hmm. I guess most of the time the back will take you
up and the up will take
oops... i meant top-left :)
