Welcome to the weekly roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Market or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.

This edition focuses only on new tablet apps or ones that added tablet support. Regular apps and games are coming soon.

As was the case with the previous tablet edition, tablet-only apps are a dying breed, as almost every app works on tablets to a degree and with ICS, this distinction is now even further washed out. I will likely stop the tablet series in the future and go back to apps/games as it's becoming superfluous.

Please wait for this page to load in full in order to see the AppBrain widgets, which include ratings and pricing info.Looking for the previous roundup editions? Find them here.

More touchable, more engaging, with loads of content and new paths to music discovery. The Android tablet app is supported on screens sized 9” or larger and Honeycomb (3.0) OS.

AI FloatNSplit Tablet Keyboard

Interesting concept I've never seen before. I've seen split designs, but never split AND floating.

A.I.type's revolutionary keyboard will help you type faster and better. The new standard for Tablet keyboards. An intelligent floating split-keyboard for Tablets with revolutionary context-sensitive text prediction. The split-keyboard "floats" above the screen and can be located anywhere on your Tablet. It’s small, elegant and occupies almost no screen space, and it gets even better: you can move it and resize it with intuitive drag and drop. 2-day refund guarantee.

LectureNotes (Trial Version)

LectureNotes is an Android app for note-taking by handwriting on the screen, in particular with a stylus. It is designed having a user at university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using it for preparing her/his lecture or even for actual teaching (by writing on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a student who is using it for taking handwritten notes during a lecture. Its major target devices are tablets running Android 3.1 or later (the actual development is done on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet with an N-trig stylus).

Amazon MP3

The Amazon MP3 app received an update that boasted tablet optimizations recently. Unfortunately, I wouldn't call the new tablet UI fully optimized, as it still lacks the Action Bar and instead contains the old and deprecated menu button.

The Amazon MP3 includes both the Amazon MP3 store and Amazon Cloud Player (US-only). Shop for music and play music stored on your device. In the US version, play or download music stored in Amazon Cloud Drive.
