I'm liking this. If you're wondering about the paid version, it does seem a little more responsive, and claims to be "ad free". I didn't see any ads in the free version to begin with, but it's a dollar, so who cares?

Try the panorama mode! Holy crap, amazing! I have never used a panorama app that worked as well as this one, makes me REALLY want these devs to get CM9 working on the revo!

Anyways, nice app, I think it's worth the dollar. Just because it's "only a port" doesn't mean it was simply a matter of getting the APK. I'm sure there were modifications that had to be made to make it work on Android versions older than 4.0.

I've had mine for not quite a week and after the first couple of cycles I'm getting a full day easily with it. If I use it lightly it might be nearly 75% at the end of the day and heavier use seldom less than about 40%

I should add that I am NOT using LTE and am running only wifi at the moment...

Google Play is just a Rebranding of Android Market

Check out this page that talks about how "Google Play" is just a rebranding of the Android Market, yet has so many possibilities for what will come next...

http://www.orangeandjuicy.com/google...ndroid-market/

I'm not sure what I think about the name "Play" yet. Not sure if that is very descriptive of reading a book.

But the roll-out was quite seamless and well done.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
Hate it. the PLAY is really unprofessional, didn't Google lean ANYTHING from the failure of the PLAYBook by RIM.

It failed because of it's name.

(and it's OS had **** apps)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
No, its not that. Large programs usually games, will have a small apk that installs and then once it launches it downloads additional data on the device using the developer's server usually. You don't know how large the additional content will be until you install the app. Now the additional content can be hosted on Google's servers so you will know just how big a game, etc really is before you download it and updates to games will also be easier to push.

Horrible Name. Cumbersome to say "Google play Books", "Google play Movies", how long till people also start to say "Google plays with...." and link it to something less than positive! :(

I really honestly don't know why they didn't keep their core brands of "Google" and "Market" and just bolt them together - "Google Market Books, Google Market Movies" "Google Market Apps" - much stronger Google Identity bolted to the strong Android Market identity.

Oh well. They've invested too much in this to go back now... :confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quinny899:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler:
Probably because it is the same - it's a branding exercise and nothing more. There's no new features to any of the updated apps apart from new icons and titles - Google has always been "the cloud" - it just didn't advertise itself as such. Its entire ecosystem has always been centralised on the idea that the web itself will be the "OS" for computers.

My lord that Google Play Store Icon is butt ugly too. Follow your own android design guidelines Google!

Sorry, as you can all probably tell I intently dislike the name haha.... the idea of a closer singular brand identity is sound though.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
I understand the need to rebrand, but the word "play" implies gaming and multimedia only. Market is much more generic, which is what you want when you are offering a wide range of products. The word "play" also creates an entertainment connotation, which does not hold true for ebooks, security, business productivity, etc. You are not "playing" when you are reading an ebook, or connecting to a vpn to retreive a document from the office, and so on. I see this as a rebrand mistake that will only cause more confusion and misdirection.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dylanlip:
There was no reason whatsoever to change the name. It serves as nothing more than confusion. When you think "Market" you think a store or a place to browse wares/software/et cetera. When you think "Play", you think... uhh.. video games? Movies? I guess? Who in the hell at Silicon Valley actually thought this idea works?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Android Market sounded much more professional. At best, Google Play should've been used as the website/desktop playing aspect.

There is no change really, layout wise. But I don't like the new name, the android market just has that nice ring to its name that. Google play store doesn't quite sound right.

You guys need to read the new terms and conditions that came with it.wasn't just a name change.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savagealien:
You're only part right. iTunes was the name of the program you used with your iPod. Then they expanded to mobile devices, selling music, apps (App Store btw), books, movies... the name was familiar so they didn't rebrand.

This is like the opposite. Google had a good name, the Android "Market", market... like a store you automatically think it can sell anything and then they name it Google play which sounds fun, but does not convey books and more professional apps, etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smarteralec:
Not a good plan

This is a very bad, poorly thought-out idea. People actually do use their pocket computers (often with phones chips inside...) for more than just playing games or listening to music. Plus, Google did this with no advance notice to their users. I just went to find a particular app and was immediately confronted with the notice, "By accepting Google Play you agree to these new terms of service, including the YouTube Rental Agreement". Huh???

I don't want to ”play ” anything , I don't have any free time to spend on video games, and I certainly don't want to rent anything from YouTube!

What happened to the old Market?? Who is the seriously incompetent fool at Google that approved this change? And then thought it was even better to spring this idiocy on us with no notice or consultation or provision to opt out?

Google is becoming the new computing Evil Empire. Too much success and perceived power and you totally lose touch with your users. Forcing people to accept what they don't want and don't need is the sign of a dictator! Whatever happened to the motto "Do no evil"??

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beanboy89:
When I heard about the name/branding change, I thought it was a bit strange. I still think it is. Google has over three solid years put behind the "Market" name and now they all of the sudden change it? When I hear "Play" I have no idea what it is, but at least with "Market" there was some sense of what it is, IMO. Anyway, I got the Play update OTA when I opened the Market today. Aside from the icon (which looks pretty cool), everything else seems identical to the Market.
