Android as a tablet lacks direction

• ZeroGravitas 16y ago
  It would be a chicken and egg situation if Android had neither tablets nor tablet optimised software and required one to get the other. But since they already have both they've completely dodged that problem somehow. (Admittedly the first big tablet launch was only this week, and the tablet software is only announced, not launched, but they'd still escape the chicken-or-egg as long as they only have one, which they do.) I also find it strange that, despite all the hype about "apps", Marco feels that only first-parties can make or break the tablet experience. I would have thought 3rd-party iPad apps would have been a slam dunk argument for the iPad, though I personally get more use out of the web.
