Google says it will start downranking non-tablet apps in the Play Store
Google's push for big screens will include a (hopefully dramatic) Play Store redesign.
You're viewing a single thread.
I wonder why the tablet app ecosystem on Android is so poor? Could it be that the Google has spent the best part of the last decade firmly pretending that Android tablets don't exist, and people should just buy a Chromebook? Maybe that might have something to do with it?
Google:
Am I out of touch?
No, its's the devs who are wrong!
ChromeOS does benefit from android apps for tablets. Chromebooks are next gen android tablets.
I agree with the first statement and firmly disagree with the second. Chromebooks are not inherently tablets and they inherently do allow multiple windows open at once without split screen, something that you basically never see with the tablet computing paradigm.
I didn't get you. Tablets allow only to split screen (except for some launchers that allow a kind of tiling with multiple apps) while Chromebooks allow standard windows like any X/wayland DE, plus they allow tiling similar to tablets.
That's what he said.
Right, you just said the same thing as me but with more detail. Your earlier comment said Chromebooks are essentially tablets. I was saying they're not like tablets because they have a more traditional desktop/window management paradigm.
