Top web sites cater more to the iPad than Android tablets

The top 500 Web sites are catering more to the iPad than they are to Android tablets, according to tests by Blaze Software.

Part of the problem for Android tablets is that many of these top sites as listed by Alexa send the same pages that they would send to an Android phone, which results in less rich, text-heavy pages that don’t take advantage of the 10-inch tablet screens, Blaze tells “NetworkWorld” (http://macte.ch/dIKn1).

Of those sites that have pages designed for Android tablets, only 16% send pages customized for Android tablets, and the rest send pages designed for Android phones, the study says. By contrast, 92% of the sites that have an iPhone customized page also have an iPad-customized page or an iOS desktop-customized page, according to Blaze.
