Your phone is about to get a lot more interesting! The new Android Market is now available to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. |
The new Android Market is now available to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. You don’t need to do anything - the update is automatic on supported phones. If you’re in the U.S., you’ll also be able to download the Videos app, rent movies, and buy books once you receive the new Android Market.
The design is radically different from the previous iteration of Android Market, thanks to the use of big tiles. Previously we had to deal with a small carousel of featured apps running across the top of the screen, now we have the “Featured” landing page.
On the Featured page are Games, Staff Choices and Editors’ Choice boxes, along with single and double width blocks displaying other apps. It’s bright, it’s vibrant and fortunately, most app blocks also carry the price and star rating of that app. Swiping from side-to-side, you’ll be able to get to Categories, top apps - either paid for or free - as well as Trending apps.
But If you have problems, you can revert back to the old version of the Market under Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All. Then select the Market app and tap "Uninstall Updates."
Enjoy the new Android Market !
