No one seems to want to do tablet sites aimed at end users, sometimes it seems like the tablet world is just developers and hardcore users talking to each other.

Tableteer is maybe the closest to a genuine user site, but it only gets updated once in a blue moon and doesn't have much content. It's also inaccessible from a PC if you go through the front page.
Krisse, no offense, but you're back to blurring the lines between garage and downloads.

Individually some of your points have merit, but I really think it helps this dialog to draw clear distinctions between developers/uploads and users/downloads.
