Google to put tablet apps front and center next month


Google plans to simplify how Android tablet owners find tablet-specific apps in the Play Store as part of a change next month.

Come November 21, Google says its "designed for tablets" section will effectively become the first thing tablet users see when browsing the Play Store from those types of devices. It's also tweaking its various "top" lists, like top paid and free titles, to mark what's been made for phones versus tablets.

The changes are part of a larger effort by Google to get developers to both support and note when their software is ready for larger-screened tablet users; that began back in May with its aforementioned designed-for-tablets section.

In a post on Friday announcing its plans to change the storefront, Google noted that developers "who invest the time" to tweak their apps and conform within the program's plans have seen increased downloads as a result.

At last public count, Google's Play Store has more than 1 million apps and some 50 billion downloads. Rivals -- though notably Apple -- have criticized that growing catalog, calling some versions of those tablet apps "blown-up smartphone app(s)."

Canonical founder: Apple's 64-bit chip to unify Mac, iPhone


Here's food for thought: Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth believes that Apple intends to merge the Mac and iPhone.
"Apple was sending what we think is a very clear signal that it will converge the iPhone and the MacBook Air," Shuttleworth said in an interview with UK-based PC Pro, published Friday.
The creator of the Ubuntu operating system expanded on what he believes Apple was thinking when it announced the 64-bit A7 processor:

People are saying yes, mobile processors are catching up with the desktop. When Apple announced the iPhone 5s, it called the processor "desktop-class," and I don't think that was an accident -- it was sending what we think is a very clear signal that it will converge the iPhone and the MacBook Air.
There's no point talking about the desktop performance of your CPU unless you plan to make a desktop device with that CPU.

The above was said in the context of Ubuntu's current push to merge the desktop, tablet, and phone operating systems into one codebase. 

Shuttleworth expects the converged Ubuntu OS to arrive next year, before Microsoft is able to "converge Windows on mobile and PC." 

Apple's iOS runs on its A series chips, a flavor of the ARM processor design, while OS X runs on Intel x86 chips.

Though there are some commonalities between iOS and OS X, the operating systems remain very separate, both cosmetically and functionally.
Apple has not announced any plans to merge the two.
