“Change” is the one thing in the world with out “Change” . Hanging on is the only sin. Yes,RIP for Android market.Very interesting brand change.
Google has consolidated all its digital download services — Books, Movies, Music and Games — on one platform ‘Google Play’, in an apparent effort to compete with Apple and Amazon that have pioneered the online retail marketplace approach. Starting today, Android Market, Google Music and the Google eBookstore will become part of Google Play.The service play.google.com combines the marketplace with Google Play’s cloud service. So Google users, purchasing a book at Google Play on an Android device, will be able to read it on the desktop via the cloud. The cloud service is free. The new service has created a positive buzz among tech blogs, some saying that Google is finally introducing its own game to compete with Apple’s uber-successful iTunes store. Even though Android devices have caught up with iOS devices in terms of sheer number, Apple is still head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to direct sales of digital downloads to its users. This is Google’s big step forward in that direction.
Google Play is available on mobile, computers, laptops and Chrome books. It allows users to buy a piece of content and access it on any device. I think Google is more serious about Mobile business.Android was more built with an enterprise in mind.Google cant ignore 450000 Plus android applications. But Google play is like a multi-tasking with broad minded platform.You can upload up to 20000 songs,you can access your movies from cloud. Even non android users can also use google playBut some people have scared when it is one place-is there any leak, or hack you may lose everything.
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress .-Bruce Barton- .I Hope Google will progress a lot on mobile market in coming years and I am sure Google will replace Microsoft in all aspects.
