Hey Bartek,

I tried downloading it to my tablet to see how it behaved.  So far it looks pretty awsome.  I sucessfully added an account.  I don't have sms (no cell radio) so I saw nothing in the main window.  I do have a 
couple points for style:

1) You app is marked as targeting android apis < 11.  When apps are marked as such, they run in a compatibility mode which doesn't integrate as nicely.  If you don't have a tablet available for testing look and 
feel I can help.  I know the emulator is horrible for honeycomb (unfortunately).  Note you don't need to switch the sdk you compile against, its just a number in your manifest file.

2) For your login screen, it currently streches across the entire screen.  The good looking account setup utilities generally center and limit the size of the text entry (about 1-1.5 times the size of a phone).

Otherwise can't wait until its done!  Let me know if you need testing on tablets, I can test your app on mine no problem.  I also have some experience dealing with the tablet apis, along with using the support 
library, allowing you to use some of the new API's in apps targeting phones.
