Alright guys and gals, I wanna get your feedback on the android section. The question is "Is a Tablet Section Required". Please feedback in the poll above.

Please post your comments and reasons in this topic. Remember strong justifications are also requires not just the amount of votes. As far as i know most android phone app works on android tablet and vice versa. Or maybe I am wrong. Lets hear your views.

Edit: I have enabled re-voting if you change your opinion after reading through the post here.

yes...
there must be an andriod section
because a lot of apps of android doesnt work on tablets

As I see there aren't many answers yet so I'll just start by saying that it's currently REALLY hard finding apps specified for tablets among all these "HD versions" and "3D versions" of the same app. There are many different applications that are optimized for Tegra and so on but do not work right on tablets and vice versa so I see that as a very good reason to have a tablet section

A tablet version is definitely a good idea, even tho there are still very few apps available, there are already tons of games.

Just makes more stuff to have to go through.. I would rather a way to mark/tag the post that it is for tablets.

Also when Android 4.0 icecream sandwich comes out end of year.. phone and tablet os will be the same.

When using spareparts (and now the expand features in 3.2).. there isn't many apps that won't work perfectly fine on a tablet. With my Xoom I find it is more of a case with games, not supporting the Tegra2 gpu or the 45° tilt the accelerator has on tablets than anything else.

If anything it becomes handy for the phone users, to not see all the Honeycomb only apps/games... but again that is what the requirements entry is for (if posters used it properly all the time)

I have a Archos 101, and i think a tablet section is absolutly necessary!
I love this site but for the most games i have to search very long...

As Tablets are becoming more popular more users of them will find this site and help to create an even better experience here. Having a separate Tablet section will encourage these users to join and participate in the site.

Well i think one of the problem here is concerning apps/games that works on both phone and tablet. We cannot have releases of the same app in both sections. It maybe more convenient to separate the sections but not practical when it comes to this. Discuss.

Well, apps that work on both should be on the "main" android category, and those specific for tablets on the tablet section, I understand it might mean the tablet section would be a little empty but that would just make the searching easier for the tablets users, personally I don't care either way, but I think it makes sense to have a category for tablets, don't even need to separate between games and apps imo.

Could you name a few?

A tablets category would only be useful if there were many tablet specific apps. Currently this doesn't seem to be the case, let alone a few office suites and mail readers. I think it will be useful to add a tablet section in the future but for now a tablet section would not even fill 1 page i think.

It would be nice to know that apps/games will work 100% on tablets, not essential, but a nice extra if it was added.

I am remaining neutral and not taking sides. Just pointing out the facts.

Frankly you do not need a whole tablet section to tell you if it works or not. It can be put in the requirements. If its stated in android market that it works on tablet it should be in our requirement as well.

Right now there are not that many tablet users out there, so tablet-relevant posts/apps dissapear from the front pages pretty quickly. A seperate android section would give tablet-users a place to go to when looking for tablet-optimized/HD apps/games, because right now the internet doens't have that much to offer. So in my oppinion a tablet section would be great.

Yes, a tablet section is needed because it is hard to find Android tablet apps.
