velocity-300x210

In the early days, when Android was the new kid on the block, the Tablet experience wasn’t all that great. Apps designed for Smartphones scaled up terribly on the Tablet’s screen, resulting in a less than stellar experience. Fragmentation was rampant, and Tablet’s adoption wasn’t on the rise. Not to mention that Tablets cost a bomb at that time, which further deterred users.

 

Android has come a long way from that point. Tablet owners now have a fantastic assortment of apps to choose from. Apps that don’t merely scale up the Android phone experience, but really make an effort to present a unique tablet experience. As an icing on the cake, tablets are now incredibly affordable, and Tablet sales are at an all time high!

 

This week, we put together a list of the best apps that every Android tablet owner must download. To find out which apps made the cut, read on…
