Key takeaways

  • A recent piece of news concerning Google s work on Android for tablets really drove home a point that s been evident to many people for a long while.
  • According to Android Authority, Google is about to introduce a new badge to its Google Play Store that will highlight apps designed for the larger screens of tablets (and book-style foldables, obviously).
  • This is ostensibly positive news, but for my money, it speaks far more to Google s whopping great failings in the tablet space.
