Good-looking Android Tablet Apps Worth Downloading

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 01:25 AM PST

The blooming Android tablet scenario has managed to turn many heads. With the launch of the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10, Google is taking this market as seriously as Apple does. Though the iPad is still the king of the castle, the Droids are rising slowly against the Cupertino monopoly. What makes Nexus tablets so special is that they offer the same amount of value as the iPad does. The very fact that these tablets come loaded with the latest operating system and apps make them even more competitive. Features like Google Now, panoramic camera, excellent graphics and more put Android tablets head-to-head against Apple's iPads and Kindle Fire HD.

That said, when compared to iPad, Google's slick new tablets fall short in the apps department. On Apple's iTunes store, you'll find a huge amount of apps that are specially designed for the iPad; however, on the Play Store, you'll find very few apps that fit well with the tablet form factor. Don't worry though. If you have just bought a new Android tablet, we won't let you be disappointed. We have a list of some of the best and good-looking Android apps out there that are specially designed for tablets.
