When you buy your shiny new Honeycomb tablet, it's logical that the first thing you'll do is go to the Android Market, either on your device or on your PC, to find some apps.

The problem is, it's tough to find Honeycomb-optimized apps in the Market. Beyond the Google-selected "Featured Tablet Apps" section, you have no way to search by OS. Sure, Google likes to say that 2.x apps should run on Honeycomb, but the reality is more of a crapshoot than that. And just because they run doesn't mean they're optimized to take full advantage of the screen size, resolution, status bar, or other Honeycomb-specific features.

Then there are the apps that are optimized for Honeycomb, but don't clearly mention this fact, if it's mentioned at all.

For example, app is actually optimized for Honeycomb, but you would never know that from the description (or any of the other text) in its Android Market listing. The only way you'd know it is if you just happened to scroll through all of the app screenshots until you got to the very last one, where you can see that it's clearly running in the Honeycomb environment.

This is absurd. There has to be a better way to search for Honeycomb-optimized apps. On this point, the developers all agreed that while the Android Market had made fantastic strides in just the last few months, it still has to step up its game.
