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, and I can't see 
Google moving into the realms of testing every app with targetSDK=11 just to 
pick out the tablet capable ones. Any additional categories for tablets would 
most likely get abused by devs who are just aiming to get more downloads.

[Disclosure statement: I developed a fair chunk of the Tablet specific code for 
TouchNote]
