Many parts of the current platform and app UIs just aren't prepared to run on a larger screen. But somebody else can take Android and make that happen, and at the end of the day have a pretty great product (which I think the Tab is). -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
