That is what I'm saying. More and more apps are converting to using fragments so the same app runs on your phone and tablet, but it looks completely different on a 4" screen, or a 10" screen. And the new updates are coming hot and heavy over the past couple of months. Those kind of apps are numbering into the 10s of thousands already and more are converting every day. Add to those the Android iPhone apps that scale properly to use the additional resolution, and you are talking 100s of thousands of apps.

Pope to Use Android Tablet to Command Opulant Christmas Display Pope to Use Android Tablet to Command Opulant Christmas Display by Kevin Krause on December 7th, 2011 at 6:43 pm If you celebrate Christmas, you no doubt have trimmed the tree. You may have even decked out the house with lights and wreathes. Some of you may have even thrown together an elaborate light show set to music for the entire neighborhood (and internet) to enjoy. But we doubt you have set up a massive Christmas tree display on the side of a mountain, one which will be commanded by the Pope himself from 130 miles away via an Android tablet. A news release out of the Vatican has named “a Sony ‘Tablet’ with an ‘Android’ operating system” as the device “to switch on the electric current to the tree.” We’d like to see your little light show top that. Coming soon: an app that will send your typed prayers directly to God himself. [via Gizmodo]
