Default Tablet (Honeycomb) geared apps?

So, I just broke down and got an Android tablet, a Sony S. Happy with it, but have a question. Like the iPhone/iTouch venture into iPad, apps that take advantage of, or are geared towards, the tablet size seem limited. OK, I expected that. The question is how do you tell if a particular app is designed to run primarily on tablets? In the iTunes store you can click a button and pretty much what you see is iPad apps. Doesn't seem like such an option exists in the Android market, unless I'm missing something.

Sony provides a link to assorted apps that are tablet aware, but they tend to take you to the MarketPlace to download/purchase, and once there it is hard to distinguish which version is the right one, if there is more than one.

I do notice some ISVs have titled some apps 'XXX for Honeycomb', but that seems individual, not a standard practise.
