Waiting at the station, for the train to arrive to take me to work, I
tapped on android market to download an app and to my surprise was prompted to
accept 'Google Play'. Thinking it was some game pushed, I declined which closed
the market itself. Tried once more and was graced by the prompt again. A little
irritated, I googled, only to find out about the rebranding spree by the Giant! Andriod market became ‘Google Play Store’ paving the way to ushering in
a digital marketplace common to mobile
applications, music, movies and books (I’m sure there is more to come...)
enabling Google to offer a multiple digital content shopping experience under a
singular roof. All that said, one particular reviewer humerously suggests that Gmail,
Google Docs and Analytics would then be unveiled as 'Google Work' as opposed to
'Google Play'!
It is difficult to imagine users having to go to Google Play Store to read a book. Err, it really sounds like a toy shop to me personally.
After all, people do more than playing games and music/videos on their hand
held devices! I could only giggle at the thought of the 'brain-stormers' who
really drained out their heads in forcing an utterly startling name to the
users of a web empire. Incidently, I had to agree to a terms of service to
browse the market unlike before!
