Few days back, Google has re-branded its Android Market to
Google Play. In Android market users were only allowed to access Android Apps
(outside US) but now Google has expanded its android marketplace which now
includes Android Apps, eBooks, movies, as well as music. All these services are
divided in four categories respective to their types. To create more awareness
about this service Google has embedded Google Play in the Top Black Navigation
Bar.
Navigation Bar appears while surfing any of the Google
services like Google+, Orkut, Gmail etc just below the browser address bar. Now
a new Play button is appearing in the navigation bar which redirects you on the
Google Play store. Along with adding Play button in the navigation bar Google
has also shifted Calendar and Documents into More button which encapsulates all
lower-priority services like Google Finance, Google Videos etc.
Google has attempted to merge Movies, eBooks, Apps and Music
under one hood via Google Play but this is not available for all the users
around the globe i.e. users from Canada and U.K will only have to access
movies, books and android Apps, for Japan users it offers only movies and
android Apps.
Rumors are that Google Play in foreseeable future it will
become the important part of Google. It importance can be understood from its presence
in homepage of Google even-though it is of no use for PC users. This store is
also expected to sell movies soon.
In upcoming time Google Play will give stiff competition to
most popular online retailers like Amazon, iTunes etc.
