Maybe you wanted to be connected while on the road, more productive during meetings or maybe you just fancied having a sleek device that you could do really cool things with. So how productive did the tablet <em>really</em> make you?</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Tablets are a lot better at being entertaining than at making you productive. Hence, this article is all about filling dead time with fun and entertaining apps. Now if you ever find yourself bored or stuck waiting, get out your tablet and kill time with the following fun Android Honeycomb apps.</div>

Browse The News</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
The good thing about news is that there are new ones every day. So whenever you have some free time to fill, there will be a new story for you to discover. A really great way to do that on your Android device is Pulse.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Pulse is an application that turns articles from your favorite websites into streams of little tiles. The tiles can either contain an image and the headline or the headline and a brief summary. With Pulse you can browse the strings of articles from different sources.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Articles you want to read will open in a slide-in window to the right-hand side. It allows you to both keep the present article open and browse other news stories at the same time. You can either view the posts in a compact text view (shown below) or load the website within the same window.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
We also covered Pulse for Android and iOS in the MakeUseOf Directory.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
For fans of old school newspapers, Pulse may be a little too flashy. If that’s you and if you got a tablet nevertheless, maybe PressReader for Honeycomb will make you a little more content.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Listen To Music</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Just want to zone out and listen to a few tunes? TuneIn Radio is one of the best apps to browse over 50,000 channels, including local presets and national networks from around the world.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

Entertain The Brain</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
News can be heavy stuff and maybe you’re not in the mood for audio centered entertainment. If you’re looking for some less serious and quiet entertainment, there are a couple of Android Honeycomb apps to stimulate that grey matter in a fun way. My favorite is Funny Facts, an app with random facts sorted into various categories, such as science, celebrities, or sex. It also includes famous quotes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<img alt="apps for android honeycomb" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fcd4f0e64bTime03.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fcd4f0e64bTime03.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Another great way to waste some time and do something for your education at the same time is reading Wikipedia. Wikipedia for Honeycomb Tablet actually is a Wikipedia browser in which you can store your favorite pages as bookmarks.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Play A Game</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
There aren’t a lot of cool free games optimized for Honeycomb out there. You will find a few basic ones, for example Minesweeper. One that is much more fun is Cordy, a 3D puzzle platform game. A little robot called Cordy runs through its world, collecting zap drops and once he has collected enough energy, he can power up the level, which will open the exit door.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<img alt="apps for android honeycomb" border="0" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3da149146Time07.png.png" src="http://www.new-technology-news.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/a3da149146Time07.png.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
The first four levels are free. To play the full 27 levels you need to buy the game for $4.99.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Draw</h2>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
In the event that you have to entertain a bored toddler, get DrawFree, a basic drawing Android Honeycomb apps. It may also be useful to illustrate something or make a quick note when pen and paper are not handy.</div>

If you are wondering just what Dead Zebra and their collectibles are all about you can click here for all our coverage. The first round of collectibles were back in February of 2010 then a series 2 the following year. The last round of collectibles was back in August but we are expecting more soon especially with this latest tease shown above.</div>

For those looking to celebrate Halloween or Dia de los Muertos now you can do it with a bit of Android flair and from the amount of details on the android I think they’ve even hit that 15 pieces of flair minimum, although Office Space has nothing to do with Halloween. To get your very own special edition Calaveriod be sure to check by the Dead Zebra Shop on the Day of the Dead. That is November 1st, and they’ll be available starting at 11 AM EST and again at 11 PM EST. They go fast and are limited to 1 per person so you better hurry as they are usually a big hit.</div>
