The officially unofficial "Optimized For Honeycomb" List (n=292)

[Stang68]

Air Attack HD actually does have specific Tegra2 support/tablet support, according to their Market page. I know it used to not say that there.

Just added a bunch more.

Please add Xtralogic Remote Desktop. It works flawlessly on the Xoom and allows you to rdp into a windows desktop. I love the Xoom and am installing1to 2 apps per day.

You can add "Citrix Receiver" to the list.

It officially was updated today to support Android 3.0

I've tested it with my work information and it works really well. Pretty stoked about this one... although it just means I can access work info on yet another device

Does the latest Google Maps update work properly with Xoom? I have to assume it does. Just don't want to install without knowing for sure.

It seems like most of these optimizations are mainly all of the games.

 

[dhendriksen]

My thought too. I personally am not concerned about games. I want a powerful office productivity suite. That is the only thing that was better about my iPad. Keynote (as buggy and limited as it was) blows out anything available on Android. I'm hoping that Microsoft comes out with Office for Android, but I think that is a long shot. Seeing a native app would be sweet though.

 

[cody_21]

Yes i have to agree. i also want one or two good sports apps, mainly mlb at bat and SEC. I rarely play games unless its something like angry birds or fruit ninja

both opera mini and opera mobile work great on the xoom.

What I mean by "optimized for honeycomb" is either:

a) The developer has updated/created the app using the new SDK and design scheme

-and/or-

b) The developer has specifically updated/created the app to make use of the larger screen space, dual cores, and gpu that this new line of tablets will use. This extends to recognizing and acknowledging that landscape mode is the more natural position for tabs these large and rendering properly as such.

There's some grey areas because there are tons of apps that work really well on the Xoom just because unlike iOS, android apps are made to scale well out of the box thanks to the sheer variety of devices they must support.


Pulse was made specifically for honeycomb and it's on the list. Adobe Reader isn't downloadable from the market this morning for unknown reasons, but I will test it as soon as it works.

Thanks for the explanations.

Motorola has a Help App for the Xoom and it's using fragments, so I think this would be a candidate for this thread.

The app is available Outside the market at Get Help Center app

Thread about it here: Motorola Xoom Help App (Off-Market Install) - Android Forums

The built-in Quick Office will open PDF files.
