Since this tablet has a genuin Android Honeycomb firmware, will it by default get tablet optimized apps when installing an app from the market? Or does that go by screen resolution?

I have uploaded the new firmware now:

I have tested this version quickly and gone is the "force close" when signed in on google and and more apps are now working.
Streaming video now works and so is Youtube.

How to see if the app is tablet optimized??? Let me know how i can test this.

When an app is installed on a device running android 2.x.x it will display as a "phone" app, but if installed on honeycomb it will install and display as a tablet app. An example is the Gmail app which has one big list of emails in the inbox, whereas on honeycomb it will display two scrollable panes, which is more userfriendly on a big screen. This is somehow a bad example for testing though, since the tablet gmail app comes preinstalled on honeycomb I guess.

Take a look on this app, Google Docs You can see on the phone it has this apparence, but on the HC tablet it has another apparence. But its the same app. Install it on a tablet running 2.x.x and you will get the "phone" look blowen up to 7 inches or whatever screensize you've got. Install it running Honeycomb, and you will get the "tablet" version of it. Which is nicer for a tablet.

I get your point, i thought maybe there was something in Market where you could see the different version.
Unfortunately Google docs does not show up when searching on Market, Google Listen shows up.
