UI design guidelines for Android Tablets

Tags:

Are there any UI design guidelines for the upcoming Android tablets? Looks like the Archos 7 will be available sometime this month. My question is not about supporting the screen size but more about providing a more appealing UI interface for a bigger screen device.

Thanks

It is not really UI Design Guidelines, but you can create your custom layout extend ViewGroup and be able to react to extra big resolution of the screen by putting extra components on screen and alter the layout significantly, well beyond what's possible using the build-in multi resolution XML layout mechanism.

A great starting point would be the official Android Design Guidelines.

In particular, the sections on Multi-pane Layouts and Devices and Displays might be of interest to you.
