I think that moment is close. I’ve been developing applications for Android tablets and despite what the article says, developing Android applications for Tablets is not about up scaling your app. That problem exists on “tablets” that use previous Android Smarthphone versions. Something Google does not support.

Google created “Activity fragments” so that developers could create different content frames that appear or disappear according to screen size. One good example is the Gmail application. One fragment shows your received email. Another fragment shows the content of your currently selected mail.
On Android tablets you can see both fragments side by side. On smarthphone you only see the received email fragment.

In practice this gives developers the same power to build Android Tablets optimized apps just like you see on the iPad. If a developer wants it can create an “Activity Fragment” that is only shown on a Android tablet.
