Tablified.Com…The Missing Link for Android Tablets
Android is undoubtedly evolving at an exponential rate. It’s been revered as
one of the best mobile platforms in the market today. With the introduction
of Android 3.0 Honeycomb and the affiliation with the Open Handset Alliance,
Android has dominated many categories in the mobile computing industry. The
Android OS consists of hundreds of thousands of apps (applications) that
have penetrated the whole market; from healthcare to social networking,
Android has covered them all. Nearly 70% of the apps for android are free and present great opportunities for customizability of the user
interface (UI).
Sadly, one of the biggest flaws with the Android Market is the lack of a
dedicated Tablet section. Unlike the iPad section on iTunes, there isn’t a
single place on the Android Market that shows you only tablet apps and
nothing else. This is where Tablified.com steps in. Tablified.com is
essentially the missing link in Google’s quest to dominate the Tablet
market.
Many “community” forums available on the internet have attempted to create a
list of apps that are available for Android Tablets but they all have on
thing in common, poor execution. The list is unintuitive and uninteresting.
A very bland list of apps with no description or screenshots-that’s not how
I want to browse for apps. On Tablified.com each app is classified in its
respective category and when clicking on an app of interest you’re presented
with a full product description and screenshots. If you decide that the app
is the one you want, Tablified.com simply links you directly to the Android
Market to complete the transaction.
Tablified.com distinguishes itself from the competition by hand picking
every app that is placed on the site. What many of these lists that you find
on the forums fail to mention is that all the apps on there do “work” on the
tablet, but aren’t necessarily designed for Tablets. Why should you settle
for apps that only stretch to fill the screen when you can have one
specifically designed to take advantage of the screen real-estate of the
Tablet? Another issue with Android tablet apps is that many developers claim
that their app is “optimized” for tablets when in fact this isn’t the case.
With Tablified.com you can rest assure that each app has been tested to make
sure that it’s truly a tablet app and nothing less. The site is very
community orientated in it’s own respect. If you have an app that you
believe is a “Tablified” app then there is a section on the site for you to
submit it. Once the team verifies that it is indeed for Tablets, it will be
added to the site.
We highly recommend and encourage you to check out Tablified.com. The site
is updated regularly bringing you the most complete list of Android Tablet
apps on the internet. The goal of this project is to help Android Tablet
owners find tablet apps with ease. So ahead and search, contribute and
spread the word. Tablified.com is definitely on the right track filling in
what Google has left out.
