I think the biggest problem that Android (Honeycomb) is having is that Google totally rebuilt the OS for the tablet. Where as apple did not make many changes to there iOS and the developers had to make very few changes to their apps code to make it run on the iPad. Android (Honeycomb) will be fine it is just taking developers longer to fix the code to run with all the new features that Honeycomb has to offer.

- cageface 15y agoThe really good iPad apps have interfaces that were designed for the iPad. Rethinking an interface for a completely different form factor is a lot more work that twiddling with enough APIs to get your code running. Just ask the people complaining now about Android phone apps stretched to fit a tablet screen.
