How Google Can Make Android Truly Tablet-Worthy

Posted by timothy on from the is-tablet-worthy-a-high-goal-or-low? dept.

With an Android armada on the horizon (or at least expected), reader androidtablet plugs this piece on ways Android could be truly tablet-friendly. Armchair engineering may be easy to knock, but I like the ideas presented here, such as aggressively using the inactive (locked) screen state to display useful information.
