he's the problem.. copy pasted from my comment in the Galaxy story..
Android OS has not been changed in anyway to utilize the larger screens of tablets.. it's the exact same OS that runs on android phones just blown up to double size.. c'mon guys that's incredibly stupid and lame. and the apps that run on it are phone apps just blown up to double size.. does anyone else not see this as being incredibly lame??
until google get off their butts and makes the changes to android like apple has done to iOS for iPad (added multiple scroll panels, toolbars, floating panels etc) that let these device take advantage of tablets larger screens and apps are developed that take advantage of these OS improvement these thing are going to remain pretty useless..
giant, blown up phones that can't fit in your pocket, with giant blown up phone apps, with big giant blown up buttons.. does anyone else not recognize that utile google does their thing these things are pretty much ridiculous and useless?? c'mon.. this is just idiotic!
