I think by now, everyone is aware that the upcoming android Honeycomb is a tablet PC optimized mobile OS. But until it arrives, there are a few emerging Tablet optimized apps for the current contender Android 2.2 Froyo that you can use.
So what is the benefit/s of these "optimized" apps anyway??
I don't know... just kidding. Seriously, Tablet PCs in general have a bigger screen, different hardware characteristics. So an app that is designed to run on an android phone would still run on the Tablet but the would run a bit slower and may or may not be able to give a "spacious" GUI interface either.
Here are few of the apps that you can use on the Android 2.2 but still they are optimized to be used on Tablets.
*. The NYTimes app.
The app is free for a limited time only. So better get some use out of it while you can and if it looks good then you might consider purchasing it. What is does is obvious, so I'm not gonna write about it but to mention a few...
1. Read news, videos, pictures, etc via this android app and if you find anything useful then it lets you to share it directly through your Faceebok or Twitter or even using e-mails with ease.
2. Can change font size and view modes, etc as well. Get it from this Nytimes app market page.
*. CNN app.
Another free android app which is designed for both phones and tablets. It lets you read headlines directly from CNN and can configure only to show things like Tech, World or Asia, Business... etc only updates, etc as well. You can also change the font size and it even has an offline mode too. As with NYTime app you can share the stories via social networks, etc.
Get it from this CNN android market page.
*. Angry Bird Game!
Well this is not a surprise when considering its popularity. Don't think anyone need an introduction to this. So if you want to play angry birds for android on a tablet PC optimized "environment" then you should get it from this official angry bird market page.
