I figured out the problem with Android tablets (mostly lack of honeycomb apps) and the fault is entirely Google's.

Google put Android development into overdrive when they gave away/sold/released the Nexus One in Jan '10 ...with an 800 x 480 resolution screen.

It would've been wise to set the resolution at 800 x 450. Then its 16:9 format and still a relatively similar pixel count/density. But...

Then tablets should be released with a 1600 x 900 resolution. So that smartphone applications could be zoomed in (x4) like the iPad. It could also place 3 rows of smartphone applications (800x450) in landscape mode and leave 100 pixels on the bottom ... say for the android buttons/notification bar. Then "Honeycombe OS" should also have its own native apps built with 1600x800 (to leave 100px for the notif bar) and the new 16:8 (or 2:1) ratio would make it simple to go from landscape to portrait mode.

Then in 2011/2012 should be the era of High Definition smartphones, so basically qHD resolution (960x540). [which would bump the ppi from 204 to 245 for a 4.5" phone]

Later we could see FullHD tablets! 1920x1080p!!!
It would zoom (x4) the qHD smartphone apps to cover the fullscreen. Then also it could place 3 rows of qHD smartphone apps in landscape mode leaving 120 pixels for the notifications bar. The new SDK should allow tablet apps to be built in 1920x1080 (or 1920x960 for 2:1 ratio), which means it gets close to the grunt/quality of an Xbox 360.

So yeah, 30 pixels too-greedy is what prevented this awesomeness from happening, 'tis a shame!

(anyone agree/disagree?)
