I hope you guys realize its the same Android market. Same sucky applications, better UI. Yeah this is a total revolution. Everything is a revolution to Android users, kinda annoying

this old one works on 2.1 (motorola tested) so my guess will see it on devices with 2.1 too

HTC Hero? Doesn't that mean you should be pretty close to upgrading time? That's about a 2 year old phone, right?

I get the feeling we're gonna see a lot of unofficial sharing of ideas (some may call it copying) between Android, iOS, and WP7 from here on out.

Exactly, everybody imitates. The way Apple is bringing to the world its "new" notification system.. eerrr... copycat! That's why I think companies shouldn't be suing over UI designs, or worse, icons shapes!!!

How are the prices? I know it's not like Android where theres a sh*t ton of free stuff, but I hope it's not like Apple either where your expected to pay top dollar for anything worth a damn.
Damn...This was meant for comment #5...my bads.

Hey I love the set-up, it's way easier than before. Sure it looks a bit like Windows Phone 7, but it's a heck of a lot better than it was. I am stoked & very happy with the new Android Market.

@Coolaaron88
There's always going to be a need for a cut-off point. Companies can't be expected to support legacy devices forever. Are you crying over your Windows 95 Pentium desktop not being able to run Windows 7 too? Or the recent termination of Xbox Live access for the original Xbox? The biggest difference here is that the software is left open for people who want to push their devices to the limit (http://theunlockr.com/downloads/android-downloads/android-roms/).

Seriously am I the only one who thinks Google is now copying WP7 with the swiping side to side and the tiles look, atleast there is no one for Apple to sue lol

Give Apple some time, I'm sure that they'll find something to sue over.
26. jura21 posted on 12 Jul 2011, 20:48 2 0
swiping sides was present in android youtube app ever since Froyo(released before wp7)...so it cant really be accused of being a rip-off...

I like this, but what I wish they would also consider adding is a short 10-20 second clip for games so you could really see it in action.
15. MichaelHeller posted on 12 Jul 2011, 18:03 2 0
yeah, it's annoying that the Market website has had video previews since December, but they haven't brought the links to mobile.
13. skymitch89 posted on 12 Jul 2011, 18:01 1 1
I haven't gotten the update yet, but I don't think that I want to get it. I think that they should only change the UI when a new version of Android comes out, not every 3-6 months.

sorry Microsoft but i'm glad we stole the look of your Market. you guys have a damn sexy UI and Google has done a good job copying it. ;D

Now Taco...this is an example of Android evolving.
19. box (unregistered) posted on 12 Jul 2011, 19:22 9 1
I don't think we'll see Taco or Gemini or the-one-with-the-naked-guy-picture blind faces on this post, since their minds will probably be blown by something completely unknown and unfathomable to them: innovation and improvement of an existing concept

that there is a link to an xda forum that's gotten a .apk file of the new Market. i've replaced my old one with it on my Droid 2 and it works. i haven't gotten around to trying to get a book or a movie but that costs money and i don't much care about them so it doesn't really matter to me if they do or don't. enjoy.

this is the only thing I can't stand about Android OS...they can never be still. they are like that kid with ADD. always updating and changing the look more frequently than any other OS. really Google, it's ok to have the same look for 1 year...it's totally fine. no reason to revamp your software every 4-6 months & to have a WP7 look makes it that much more of a tacky move. geez.
