Only on tablet-built apps. Foursquare (for example) only has a phone app. on a N7: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vhy3ucrsmvtui76/Screenshot_2012-07-21-16-45-09.png

  Except the difference is: there are tens of thousands of iPad apps. How many Android apps are optimized for tablets? (Silly example btw, who would use Foursquare on a 10" tablet?)

    The point is that there's less of a need for a separate tablet version of many Android apps than there is for iPhone/iPad since Android's scaling is much more sophisticated.

      iPad versions of apps aren't simply about scaling the UI. Take Twitter on Android tablets[0] for example, it's clear that merely enlarging the UI elements doesn't automatically result in an awesome UI on tablets. Similarly, an UI design that works great on a phone (like with gestures from the side) might feel awkward on tablets.

        I write ipad apps for a living. I understand how scaling works. The point is that a scaled up android app will usually look a lot better than a scaled up iphone app.
