A Hive of the Best Apps for Android Honeycomb Tablets

Honeycomb might not be top of everyone’s mind yet when it comes to tablets, but we’re placing a big bet that it will be soon. With so many awesome Android tablets in the pipe, and with Google working diligently to improve the interface of Honeycomb with each subsequent release, and with the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich to unify Google TV, Android Smartphones, and Tablets, we’re confident it’s going to be a big hit with consumers around the world. Because of that, we’ve compiled the best apps around that you can load onto your own Android tablet. Here’s our big list of apps that are optimized for your Honeycomb tablets!

You got some top class 3D flying action right here. Destroy enemies, destroy buildings, just make sure you get to the next stage. I honestly couldn’t put it down when I sampled it and everything gets high marks from the sounds to the graphics to the gameplay. Definitely a must buy.

Instead of pigs, you topple primates but everything else works pretty much the same as the original version featuring those crazy macaws you saw in the movie. It’s all presented in HD and is a perfect past time for you or your little ones. Special mention: Angry Birds Seasons
