17      <h4>New Tools For Managing Screen Sizes</h4>
18      <p>Android 3.2 includes new tools for supporting devices with a wide range of screen sizes.
19One important result is better support for a new size of screen; what is typically called a "7-inch"

35of apps resize to the larger screens just fine. To keep the few apps that don't resize well from
36frustrating users with awkward-looking apps on their tablets, Android 3.2 introduces a screen
37compatibility mode that makes these apps more usable on tablets.</p>
