New Android Market - when does NS4G get it?

[Linkchomp]

I see some people already have it. Did Google already push the update out or did everyone do it manually?

It'll be out over the next few weeks. It's not like an OS update, it'll just randomly be there. You'll know by the changed icon as it will look like the Market icon from Honeycomb.

You can also install it manually via the APK which you can find here.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of it. It seems laggy compared to the old market, and the interface is too busy. Looks like they tried to merge the market with windows phone.

If you go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Scroll to Market (or type "Mar" in Search) you can uninstall updates by the "Uninstall Updates" button.

Will that keep it gone though? The update is weird when it comes to updating.

To answer your question, I just undid the update to the old Froyo version of the market on my old Optimus V (which isn't active as a phone, it's just around for testing apps and whatnot). It's back to (what I assume is), the Donut version that the phone shipped with.

However, after I locked the phone and reopened the app, it is back to 2.2 Froyo version. I'll use the APK to update to the newer ICS version (which I will call the new one because it has the Honeycomb icon which will probably be used in ICS) and I'll see what happens.

Edit: Ok, I removed the update and it went back to Donut version (Eclair version?) and then I locked the phone for about a minute, went back, and now it's the Froyo version. Looks like the update will be removable HOWEVER it also doesn't look like the update is actually completely out.

So, with that being said, since the app has turned to the Froyo version from Donut twice now, I'm just going to say that once Google starts pushing the app OTA, you won't be able to remove it that easily and it will always revert back to ICS version from the one your phone shipped with (but this may be different if you're rooted).

I downloaded the New Market Apk manually last week and gotta say I absolutely hated it. I used it for 6 days and just this morning I downgraded back to the older version. I agree that the new interface is too busy. I like a simple, clean interface and by my standards this is definately not clean. I'm hoping they change their minds about this version, but I doubt that will happen.

That's what I figured would happen.
