Google would take tablets seriously again and that’s not the first time

Google has reportedly set up a tablet division headed by an Android founder and appears to be seriously looking to get back into the tablet market. Where have we heard that before? A little history of major devices running Android.

The indications that Google wants to get serious about the tablet market again are piling up. There is again a separate version of Android for devices with large screens: Android 12L. It is the first time since Android 3.0 Honeycomb that there is a separate version for tablets, even though 12L is also intended for foldable smartphones.
