New Market?

[00_wrath_00]

I was doing some reading and found out market is being replaced by Play Store. So has anyone besides myself tried this out yet?

I'm waiting on the update as well. I'm still going to call it Android Market.

Just installed it... what's the big difference, it looks the same except for the name?

Along with the changes, Google Books is now Play Books?!?

It's somewhat stupid, that all this time for no update, and all they did was replace the icon and the name..?
I mean, sure, they had to change a lot of it to match the new name, but come on...

Anybody else feel like the new name is a little childish? I always thought of the Apple app store as a little childish because of all the stupid apps that would only attract the attention of little kids, but "Google Play" seems a little... out there.

It definitely wasn't expected, lol

I think google should stop trying to compete with apple on their level and market themselves as the kings of open source instead of this childishness.

I liked Market. Play is lame.

I couldn't agree more! I have never come across a phone that didn't have at least a small group of developers, not to mention all of the independent app devs. Android is so much bigger than an operating system.

The attempt here is try get a more unique name. The market or the Android App Store sound generic vs iTunes.

 

[jimlikesmayo]

And Play doesn't sound generic?

First of all I would like to say thanks for posting this, just updated my market. And there a positive side to this update, now we have a couple of 49 cent app
I also like market better then play!!!

I got the update almost 4 hours ago. It seems more ICS themed to me...

Exactly what I was thinking, it seems like it was just updated to fit with the new ics look, which can at times look somewhat juvenile (I'M NOT HATING).

I just like the droid on the bottom right.

the only difference I've noticed are the sale items and deal of the day/week/whatever... it still functions the same...
