    why so few apps on tablet compared to smartphone

    I just bought a viewsonic 10" tablet with android 2.0 and am shocked at the lack of apps available. I naievely thought it would have the same range as my android phone. Gotta say im pretty darned disappointed. Its hard to support non apple products when theandroid apps are so limited. am i missing something? Perhaps not searching properly?

    What is honeycomb? IS THIS THE OS or the brand oof the hardware? Also, is 2 the most up to date android os for the tablet? If not, where can i upgrade it?
