I think I will trust the ANDROID APP REVIEWERS who know what they are talking about, in judging usability for these apps, over a random guy who tells me that a scan doubled blocky 3x4 graphic design screen of a small phone app has somehow been stretched to fit a 16x9 screen with four times oversized pixels "looks good" and claims that is somehow the equivalent of being "Tablet optimized," when those apps were not ever designed for tablet sized or HD Rez screens. Android is NOT resolution independent and never was! Each App has to be customized internally for each device and each screen size it will be displayed on. Thats what the fragmentation problem of Android is all about. That's just BS, Echo, that your phone apps count! As I pointed out, we are NOT counting screen doubled iPhone apps among those 70,000 optimized iPad apps.
Why is it that YOUR Android reviewers, who have every reason in the world to push Android and the Xoom by claiming the same thing you are, yet they are the ones who are saying Are they being paid to promote Apple iPads? these negatives? Why are they saying things that you claim are FUD? The answer is that it isn't FUD when it's true.
If it’s so true I assume that means you’ve tested it yourself on your Android phone and Xoom tablet, right? Since you’re so sure it’s true and all? Oh, that’s right, you don’t own either, but are perfectly willing to be spoonfed nonsense by the media just like any other lemming.
To say that each program has to be customized for each device shows your lack of knowledge of how Android programming works. Come back to me when you’ve written a program in your life besides “Hello World”. In fact, with vector-based programming there is literally no drop in quality between a phone and tablet. And since the Xoom’s aspect ratio is fairly standard, there isn’t any odd stretching.
Seriously, stick to posting about Apple devices unless you’re going to take the time to actually use an Android device, rather than just believing what you read. Conservatives are supposed to be better than believing media nonsense.
And Kayaker, the only troll here is SM. Have I said any bad things about the iPhone or iPad? No, because they’re literally irrelevant to this discussion. SM posts troll threads attacking devices he’s never used or coded for before, and I’m the troll for defending them with actual experience?
