Samsung's Galaxy Tab - A Train Wreck

Yes, they should make apps that auto scales. Not always the case.

And even apps that autoscale don't look much different than their phone counterpart. E.G. Facebook on any android tablet.

Another problem may be more with the aspect ratio. E.G. When do you know when to make a dual pane vs single list via portrait or landscape. If one adopts 16:9 vs 4:3. Take the WSJ tablet app. On engadget, they showed side-by-side and the Android version is really that much more optimized. The layout looks single column when you read the articles.

What about the Chinese, Viewsonic and the Archos devices that are currently WVGA (800x480). That is the same res on my phones.

I agree that some programs will need to be made in more than one configuration but the majority of the apps will work fine like they are if they just scale up.
