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.

    Given how big the bezel is on the iPad and that the button is recessed, I don't think it will be much of an issue. It's never been an issue with my iPhone. Also, accidentally hitting the button should cause any data loss if the developer wrote the app properly -- perhaps games are the exception. Besides, do you really think you know more about product design than Apple? You think they didn't bother testing for such problems?
