Official Honeycomb Thread: Optimised Tablet Apps

By the suggestion of others this thread has been started. Will have headings under which I will place apps and in some cases links to apps. Please do suggest more apps that you have tried for Honeycomb and work well for the screen resolution and etc and I will update list as we go along. Please indicate under what heading it should fall. Any other ideas for headings and layout welcome. **Please try keep the thread chatter limited to apps and how to use them**

News reader https://market.android.com/details?id=com.taptu.streams Taptu, Almost the same as Pulse just has better tablet support and customization.

Same app that works on Phones but has an optimized layout for tablets.

Corp can you add a section for live wallpapers for honeycomb? I'll kick off that list with the following:

Aquarium Live Wallpaper

PS3 Live Wallpaper (My current one)
Click to expand...

I see that they are paid wallpapers but there are related links to the free versions if people would like to give it a try. I definately like the wave/ps3 background. The fish just doesn't cut the cake for me. I have seen better realism.

I have added tablet wallpapers app to list - bit slow but works. I usually click category, let thumbs load then click on picture and immediately click save before it it loads up. Helps prevent force closes and a long wait.

Also added two games - Tank Heroes (almost arcade like little tank blowing up other tanks) and Glow Hockey (think table air hockey with Tron influence).

Ghost Commander and SMB plugin for Ghost Commander. Allows you to access files on local device and another device source (think server or pc) at same time with with split screen and transfer files. Seems primitive in function and not a lot of options (my experience so far but still playing with it) but if you need to transfer file and no cables this will work.

For those wanting to save on using their data allowance Opera Mini works well with tablet. Controls are at the top of the screen compared to usually being at he bottom.

Game - iRunner
Works very well with tablet size. Not much to the game but makes you chase highscores.

Well let us keep the source on here but I will add to list as times ticks by we after we check them out..

Also loaded iRunner under games. Simple but addictive like simple games can be.
