Are there android apps optimized for the Full HD resolution?

No, right?
So this display only looks beautiful and awesome when reading books, news,... watching 1080p videos? If that'strue then i think i'd go for the 300 because i usually watch 720p videos, which should look good on a 1280x800 screen and i only read books sometimes,

Browsing too, but for 720p videos TF300 should be enough.

What do you mean by optimised? There are many that look fine ;)
There are some apps for FHD displays, search the Playstore.
Generally text will look better than on lower-resolution screens, textures won't, especially in games.

In my opinion *everything* will look better on the TF700. Besides the resolution, the contrast is WAY better on the TF700.

The difference is noticeable *everywhere* - I especially notice it while web browsing!

I don't know, if I were buying new and could afford it, I'd definately go for the T700 - it's slightly more future-proof at least - seems to me it's just better all of the way around....

Due to the way Android handles its resolution scaling, its not a problem for some apps. Basically, the infinity identifies as a 240dpi device. Any apps that run on both phones and tablets should be covered since the resources would be there for 240dpi phones. Tablet only apps and games would need to be updated, as would apps that don't properly handle doing scaling due to sloppy programming. You can see this in action with the stock Google apps.

And as the question was about the apps stop the blind advertising ;)

PS The game is on! What a great show. So much better than in Beijing.

Well,just to let you know, connectbot makes full use of the display, it has the highest resolution terminal I ahve seen for a while.

Also, Chrome seems to make good use of the display.

Come on.. This is just text-based. See the posts above. The issue is GUI and textures.

how to tell?

can we easily test the resolution of apps?

Is there a way to take a screen shot and measure pixels, or the ratio of resolution?

After the recent firmware I noticed chrome looked more resolute, finer grained.
Especially google+ icons were smaller.

this is the only HD device so perhaps google android SDK needs to update first to support the screen size?

Perhaps the emulator would support our TF700 screen and other future device?

bottom line, how to measure apps externally for HD?
