I don't understand how the company that revolutionized the internet by creating the worlds best online search engine, can not properly run and organize the search functions of an app store.

Trendster HD for instance which is a honeycomb specific app is not showing in the tablet section and how is there not a damn filter for results! Sometimes I feel like Google doesn't really care that much about android.

Wow here is another one

DESCRIPTION
"Honeycomb's first Facebook App"

Isn't honeycomb tablets only....???
My point is that I think google is cherry picking the apps that show up in that section. It's not the tablet app section its the featured tablet app section so the apps must merit being featured. I do however think there should be away to search for honeycomb optimized applications in addition to this featured tablet app section.

Give it time... good lord. Apple had a slow start to the tablet sections too. Everyone is so damn sensitive nowadays. Give it time and the formatted apps will appear. Hell google just released that special file or whatnot that allows designers to design for all screen size/format in one apk. Dont tell me google doesnt care, its just a slow start not to mention i personally believe that motorola pushed google to release a not fully finished os to beat out the iPad2 announcement.

the op's point makes sense, he isn't complaining about the number of apps. when i hit that tablet featured tab i expect to see apps that are table optimized. there are many tablet and honeycomb optimized apps that are hard to find. if they are charging the people who pay money should just have theirs on top. Right now when you hit that button they make it seem like there are only 20 or so honeycomb apps period.
