By 
You may recall the iPad 2 launch event where Apple CEO Steve Jobs bashed Android for its limited number of applications. More specifically, Jobs claimed that Android had no more than 100 applications designed specifically for Honeycomb tablets. Now a report out of AppleInsider is claiming Jobs may have been a bit generous with the quoted figure. According to their numbers, there currently exist only 17 Honeycomb-specific applications.
The same reports uses the Featured Tablet Applications tab on the Android Market web portal as a gauge for how many tablet applications actually exist for Android. They number them at 50. Did anyone bother to read the part of the heading that said ‘Featured’? If this list was all tablet apps for Android, wouldn’t they just call it Tablet Applications? What would the point of featuring anything be?
Semantics aside, we find the figures these Apple folks working with to be sketchy at best. Even if an application isn’t built specifically for Honeycomb, developers have been hard at work building Honeycomb support into their applications in ways that include more than just scaling for device screen size. Each day that passes it seems we add another major app to the stack of those ranking among the Honeycomb crowd. For someone to claim only 50 apps function to a point that you could stand using them on a tablet, and of those only 17 are designed for Honeycomb, seems a bit outrageous.
The Android Market currently stocks about 200,000 applications, and even if a small fraction of those take full advantage of the tablet’s larger size, the majority work just fine with the hardware. The same goes for Apple. They may have a larger selection of tablet-optimized applications, but the bulk of their software is geared towards the smaller iPhone. It hasn’t stopped anyone from using these apps on the larger screens of their iPad, however. The fact is Android will catch up to Apple, and quickly. Android has been growing by leaps and bounds, and in terms of market share has paced and beaten Apple in a very short period of time. Analysts predict total apps for Android will surpass Apple within the next few months, and no doubt those for tablets will, too.

I think Google is about to call out the OEMs on this crap about their customizations slowing down the updates. Thats why I think they want to approve them if this is true. If Cyanogen can churn out the their heavily modded ROM within weeks of a upstream release then the OEMs sure the hell should be able to do so. No they aren’t having a problem at all. They are holding off on these updates to try to get you to buy the next phone.

Proof?
How do you know what the OEM’s can do?
hmmm and how many of those Cyanogen roms disable key features?
And who exactly regulates his ROMS?

The official Cyanogenmod’s don’t disable key features – only the unoffiicial ones do. In fact, they add features if anything. If you don’t believe me, feel free to download the ones loaded on the Cyanogenmod website.
And reversing the question … how do you know what OEMs do if you are so eager to defend them?

That was a rare case. One month later there were two more updated the Droid X and Droid 2, then in September the G2, and then in October the Mytouch 4G. In 5 months only 5 Android phones out of 170 got 2.2. Now you know why skins are not a good idea for Android. If they would make them like LauncherPro and put them on the Android Market then all phones would run Stock but you would have access to the OEM’s skins without having to worry about slow updates or them making your phone laggy. BTW I have heard many reports of Motoblur making the dual core Atrix laggy.
Moto blur ion these phones is nothing more than slight ui tweaks and
widgets. It runs at less than 500k max. No way in hell that will slow the
OS.

Thats your opinion, I was stating a fact. Also I’m talking about Motoblur not Ninjablur.
You were referring to your wife’s X…that is ninja blur. It is not just my
opinion that Sense adds a lot to the OS, that’s a fact. Example you ask? The
browser auto redraws text upon pinching to zoom. On other phones, you have
to double tap after zooming. The Sense widgets are best in class

I see your point and I also have access to those features on my stock phone
but the major difference is that I don’t have to wait months for an update
that should only take about 2 weeks. The clock starts ticking once I receive
my update. I had 2.2 on May 25th, 2010, I just deleted the file this
weekend. Since HTC does have a really good track record when it comes to
updates I think that Sense should be the only skin allowed but that is my
opinion. They have come a long way because their first phone the European
HTC Hero took 14 months to get updated.

I care because he is right. Being a fanboy and a realist are two different things. I too love Android and will take an Android device over the Iphoney garbage every time; however Androids Fragmentation has gone from bad to worse. From my perspective we’re dealing with multiple levels of fragmentations. Hardware fragmentation has lead to software / app fragmentation and version fragmentation has stemmed and lead to both. The iphone does one thing right and that is one phone per year so developers have a stable platform to work from and on. They don’t need to worry if the masses will get their app because of the multiple levels of fragmentation Android suffers from right now. So how many phones can play / utilize every app on the market. Do all of the Android phones out there utilize a singular version. Hell the manufactures almost make it worse. I can’t even get my update in time because HTC or Samsung or Lg or what have you all have their own reticular launchers straddling the OS. Android is great, but could be better. Lets face it. Fanboys live in la-la land, while the rest of us know the limits and pursue truth in order to further those limits. Don’t spout off with a “who cares what job said!!!” Yes getting stricter is great, but Job’s make a valid point!

Seems to me you prefer the Apple ecosystem. I don’t want Android to follow along those lines: one phone a year. The attractiveness of Android right now is the fact that there is a phone for everyone and the hardware turnover is very quick. I like the fact that the mom and the teenage daughter can pick something that works for them – they are not power users. To them Android 2.0 might as well be 1.6. They are happy as long as they can browse, their emails work and they can twitter, chat etc.
Also this fragmentation talk is mostly nonsense. Phones will less specs will get a version of Android that suits them. If you want the latest, then purchase the hardware that’ll handle the latest. Most casual users couldn’t care less about fragmentation anyway because a majority of the major apps work across versions. It’s not really necessary that every single app work across all versions – that’s only going to satisfy a few. In any case, all upcoming hardware will handle the latest, so we’ll see all versions of Android eventually become one or maybe 2 flavors at the most. Froyo is already past the 50% usage mark.
I totally agree with the article – well said.

One thing I’m wondering is..why is this such a big deal if an application is specific to tablet or not. The way I look at it is if an application is built specifically for a tablet and not for the phone, wouldn’t that also be a sign of fragmentation?

“Even if an application isn’t built specifically for Honeycomb, developers have been hard at work building Honeycomb support into their applications in ways that include more than just scaling for device screen size. Each day that passes it seems we add another major app to the stack of those ranking among the Honeycomb crowd.”
+1 Yesterday it was Robo Defense. I’ll never forget when I played Angry Birds on the iPad. The resolution was terrible, and I just laughed to myself.

Phandroid…you are supposed to know better than this.
There will be basically ZERO Honeycomb specific applications thanks to the fragments api. The same app will know how to behave on both a phone and a tablet. Of course there may be some apps that only make sense on a tablet.
I expected the Android community to charge ahead talking about the fragments API to 1. refute the claims by the Apple crowd and 2. promote it use by developers. But none of the blogs have stepped up to do so from what I have seen.

Lack of Apps DESIGNED for tablets is the reason android tablets are selling so poorly. I hate apple and IPAD. But; IPAD has thousands of apps written for it’s form factor. Android has almost none.
Android tablets will not take off until their are some decent apps for them.

You have to note that many of the applications are just widgets
The problem is the lack of decent tablets out there. Right now I’m only aware of 2.2 tablets which are pointless or the Xoom. Once the other offerings come out I think there will be much more incentive for developers to build better experiences for tablets.

Let’s be real here. . .
Honeycomb is trying to be more like a PC and therefore apps scale properly, it has Flash apps available, Adobe Air apps available, Web apps (many use Flash), Chrome web apps, Chrome extensions, etc. . .
iOS requires that apps be “optimized” for the iPad or they LOOK LIKE SHIT! They run in an iPhone emulated window with an iPhone keyboard–what a joke! The best they can do is double the size = pixelated SHIT!
iFans are just pissed because Honeycomb oneuped the iPad big time when it comes to apps.
Not to mention how fragments will be integrated into all apps. An app will behave properly based on screen size. It doesn’t need to be “tablet specific” to work properly on a handset, a tablet, or even a 50″ HDTV.
Right now Honeycomb has thousands and thousands of apps when we count all the actual apps it can use.

My wife wouldn’t care for me finding a girlfriend and it wouldn’t send a good message to my kids. And my mom is closer to living in my home than the other way around. In other words I’m already grown up. How about you catch up.

I own a zoom and even “17 apps” seems a bit generous.
Yes, there are thousands of apps that will “work”, but using them is a pretty lousy experience. Twitter, eStrongs file manager, Listen, Nook, Skype, etc all “work”, but they are weird to use on the Xoom. Not to mention that they don’t utilize hardware acceleration.
I really thought there would be more apps by now. And I mean APPS, not stupid games for tweens. This issue combined with disappointing and jittery web browsing (with or without flash) makes my buyer’s remorse flare up.

Glad to see someone spin this story the right way. The fact that we developers can fully support Honeycomb without being a Honeycomb only app is a big deal here and is being ignored by a lot of other big name news sites.

Apple pundits try to make Android sound just like iOS, but it’s not. There are plenty of apps that work on larger screens, even table screens, just dandy right now. Unlike the iOS situation, there’s no need to release an “HD” and/or tablet version of many basic apps. They already work fine as-is.
And that’s another foul to call on Apple… they count both apps specifically for the iPad and those in “HD” mode for the iPhone 4 as tablet apps. So Apple doesn’t have as many as they claim, either. And they do need one or the other of these, otherwise they’re stuck at 480×360 resolution.

One could have said exactly the same thing when the iPad first launched. I simply don’t get it…
Let’s forget about the fact that a good 3/4 of the apps that give additional functionality to iOS already have said features built into Android…

In preparation for the iPad launch Apple had more than 2,000 iPad apps in the App Store. two days later over 3000. By September there were 25,000. Today over 65,000.
Sorry but no one could have said exactly the same thing when the iPad first launched. Unless they don’t understand the definition of “exactly”.
We might hate Apple for being Apple but you can’t dismiss they know how to be prepared. Android IS fragmented for better or for worse. I just know that my phone will not run every app that my friend’s does and visa-versa. It can be a real pain!

Obviously I am not alone in seeing a business use for tablets. As reported by Laura Stotler on TechZone360, Gartner predicts a 5.6% rise in IT spending this year – thanks to tablets like the iPad. Another article on TechZone360 by Lance Whitney reminds us that the cameras on the hard-to-find iPad 2 make it even more useful to the enterprise. He goes on to cite Good Technology and Network World as sources which tell us enterprise iPad acceptance is skyrocketing.

While Google and its manufacturing partners are serving up an Android stew of tablets that will tastily tempt techies and anyone wanting something other than Apple, the iPad 2 is currently where all the true tablet action is at.

I agree that Motorola Xoom is better than the iPad 2 in specs, hdmi out even the price is lower than iPad 2 as now motorola is now offering 100$ cut on the Xoom, but it is not about that!! its about the users who use it, most of the consumers don’t need a tablet which has about 100 odd apps!! The world right now if you look at it is application oriented!! the crowd craves for apps and a normal good looking sleek UI which everyone can use, i am sure that Honeycomb looks good and it will be great but not now its just the start of the Android revolution, the Xoom is like the G1 many more tablets with greater specs and better Android version for the tablets are yet to come but right now what the consumers would prefer is the iPad 2 because apple has already established itself in the tablet market and motorola is a new comer. There are people who also think that the tablets were invented by Apple and the iPad is the first tablet…well this is the world we live in so its not about loving the fruit but appreciating it and moving on so that we can welcome better devices from both android and ios in the future!!
Where do you see $100 cut? I don’t think anyone is selling it for.

“The Android Market currently stocks about 200,000 applications”
Google CEO Eric Schmidt said himself a little over a month ago that Android has 150,000 apps:

So unless they’ve added 50,000 apps in a little over a month someone is lying….

I never listen to what Blow says. Wozniak wuz the brains.
@ comment 2…a widget is still the same as a app…they are just apps Apple doesn’t have…on a side note, Android apps could very well beat Apple in apps. Huh will be interesting to see, ijust hope more android taplet apps come through before idecide to get one over the ipad2. To the guy with the Xoom above me or anyone else who has one, how much of the market is open to Android tablets? Are you able to download any app or just tab made apps?
