Play Store

Mobile users Android have already noticed the change when entering the Android Market to download or update any of your applications A change that is related to the new platform that Google have developed to unify all the leisure that they offer from its different services. The complex, known as Google Play, already houses the digital store for books, movies and musicoffered separately by the company of Mountain View, in addition to the Android Market, which is now has been renamed Play Store

This change has already been made effective Therefore, users who enter the old Market they will discover a window that forces them to accept the new Google Play terms of service By doing so, they already have access to new application market, which takes the name of Play Store However, the change does not go much further there, since the different menus remain unchanged

If a change is appreciated in a first screen as a tutorial It allows you to see what applications and games are installed on a separate user account Thus, you can choose browse a list with leisure or utility applications. However, this screen does not appear again, so when you select the menu My applications, the list of all those installed in the terminal mixed, regardless of gender.

The change of the Android Market logo is also appreciable Those who are used to seeing the nice green android in the bag that formed the icon, they must learn to recognize the new icon. It is still made up of a shopping bag, but inside it is the characteristic reproduction triangle (play) from the new conglomerate Google Play, which looks much more elegant and formal

In short, the changes do not affect the operation of the old Market, so the user can continue searching as before for the application that you want, either through categories (by sliding the screen to the right), or according to the lists of free downloads or payAnd the same happens with the version of the web page (which also has changed its address ). From there it is still possible to find the desired tool and have it installed remotely with a computer. In the same way as the new Play Store for smartphones, the web version already has the new logo located in the upper left corner.

Presumably the strategy of Google with its new tool Google Play is to continue standing up to iTunes of Apple In fact, there are many similarities between the two leisure platforms, since it unites Google eBookstore (digital book market ), Google Music (music and movie market) and the Android Market under one umbrella service, as the Apple market already doesThe only difference is that Google silvers its service more focused on the cloud, storing everything in Internet, without the need to install any program on the computer. We will have to see if these changes are positive for the company from Mountain View For now, in SpainYou can only use the commented Play Store, since the rest of the services of Google Playare not available for our country.
