Google introducing ‘zoom to fill screen’ option on a ‘near-future’ version of Honeycomb

Having a large, 1280 x 800 10.1-inch screen is barely no good in case your favorite old Android apps haven’t been updated to make use of it. Ideally all devs would tweak their products to correctly illuminate those pixels, but that is not always possible. So, Google’s stepping in, adding another display option on “a near-future release of Honeycomb” to be able to simply zoom the app to suit the screen. This can be become independent from the present stretching option, which sometimes look bad or doesn’t work. When this mode is enabled the app may be rendered at approximately 320 x 480 and that image blown as much as fit the screen. Pretty looking results? Unlikely, but a bit of Vaseline at the lens can only boost the arrogance of those aging apps.
