There were rumors that Google Play might be the name for Google’s upcoming 7-inch tablet, but it turns out it’s actually a “digital entertainment destination where you can find, enjoy and share your favorite music, movies, books and apps on the web and on your Android phone or tablet.”
Today in a company blog post Google announced the Android Market will now be called the Play Store, Google Music will become Play Music, Google Books will become Play Books, and the Video App will turn into Play Movies.
The new Google Play icons.
Google Play is already live on the web and it will be rolling out to devices with Android 2.2 or higher over the coming days. All content and apps in your existing account will remain in your account, but will transition to Google Play.
Right now, it looks like the countries that have access to Google Play will remain the same for different types of content. Google said they are working to expand support to new markets, but they don’t have a specific timeline to share.
Types of content by country include:
Paid Apps: Available in these countries
Movies: Available in US, UK, Canada, and Japan
eBooks: Available in US, UK, Canada, and Australia
Music: Available in US
It appears this change in strategy is to emphasize that Google’s content can now be accessed on any computer with a modern browser and not just Android devices. Users can read books on the Google Play web reader, listen to music on their computer or watch movies online. All the content is stored in Google’s cloud, so you can access it anywhere with your Google account.
“This is really an acknowledgement that these experiences are relevant not just for a mobile environment but across the web,” said Jamie Rosenberg, Google’s director of digital content, in an interview with Marketing Land.
Let us know if you see the new Google Play appear on your device in the comments below.

Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
In the U.S., you’ll be able to rent thousands of movies, starting at $1.99, right from Android Market on your phone. With the Videos app, available in Android Market, there’s no more waiting for downloads, syncing, or worrying about storage space. Simply sign into Android Market with your Google account, and you can rent movies from anywhere – the web, or your Android phone or tablet – and start watching instantly. You can also download movies to your device so they’re available for viewing when you don’t have an internet connection.
Also in the U.S., you can now purchase books from Android Market on your phone. Like movie rentals, books are linked to your Google account, so they’re instantly available across all of your devices – computer, phone, or tablet – without the need for wires or downloads.

You’ll be delighted to find we’ve overhauled Android Market to make it faster, easier, and more fun to discover great apps, movies, and books. We’ve created more space to feature some of the most interesting content of the week on the home page. We’ve added more top charts, with newer, more relevant items, and we’ve made it easy to swipe through these charts as you browse the store. We’ve also introduced new collections of great content, like staff picks and Editors’ Choice apps.
The new Android Market will be rolling out in the coming weeks to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. You don’t need to do anything - the update is automatic on supported phones. If you’re in the U.S., you’ll also be able to download the Videos app, rent movies, and buy books once you receive the new Android Market.

Now i'm waiting for a dev to port this in our phones.
This will be awesome..
pretty cool ! seems more organized and sleeky !
Hi All
i was looking for Caster on google to find out how it work and i came across an interesting article on bada developers site
Four kinds of service applications based on bada 2.0 - Seia, Tripper, Apps For Me, Caster - were exhibited at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The Seia application lets you keep and share precious memories with the Lifelog service. The Tripper application lets you chart your moving path and landmarks using the Location service and share with others. The Apps For Me application provides personalized recommendations for people who want to purchase applications. The Caster service facilitates instant sharing between PC web browsers and mobile phones through Push.
In particular, visitors were especially excited over Apps For Me and Caster.
Apps For Me
The Apps For Me application provides recommendations based on application usage logs; these usage logs accumulate on the terminal since bada 2.0. By analyzing the log, the OSP server extracts user preferences based on the usage history and makes recommendations based on similarities. Especially, the package sharing for Apps For Me is a very cool feature. You can create/share packages with applications and get recommendations by package unit. User information is anonymous.

Nowadays, there are too many applications. The crowded application market place is confusing for users; what application should they downloaded or what application do they need? Visitors to Apps For Me said that they really loved the smart recommendations from Apps For Me. Fortunately, the bada 1.2 based Apps For Me will be available soon in Samsung Apps and bada 2.0 based Apps For Me will be integrated to the Samsung Apps in the bada phone.
Caster
Caster provides instant sharing between PC web browsers and mobile phones. You can send URLs from a page directly to your phone. As well as URLs, some images, videos, text, phone numbers, and locations included in web pages also can be sent. These contents are then specially formatted for mobile phones. For example, for a phone number, you can dial it directly; or for a location, you can see the map of that location. In addition to transferring to your mobile, you can share contents with friends through Caster. Caster is noteworthy because it will change how web content is consumed by people. Members of the press, as well as regular visitors, were greatly interested in Caster with its simple but useful features. Visitors asked how they could get Caster right now, but unfortunately they will have to wait until the bada 2.0 release.
Best Regards
caster is cool. at least i wanted a app like this but doesnt know how to send my data from pc to phone...

I'm newb so I don't have enough posts to reply others' thread. I saw some had the same issue so I'm posting here. Hope this can help...
same issue with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29103318#post29103318
I had the same problem, not only with Gbooks & movies but also magazines app. I'm in Vietnam and I had my N7 purchased & hand-carried over from US. Here's the fix that works for me, hopefully it can help you out.
1. Root your N7.
2. Install ROM Toolbox lite from play store.
3. Open it after installation, go to App manager > All apps. Scroll down and you will see Books/ magazines/ movies there but they are all grey'd out. (Which might explain why it shows 'app already installed' and we can not locate them without rooting - just my guess - I'm a noob hehe).

I wasn't able to launch them from here either. So next step:
4. Uninstall them.
5. Go to Play store and reinstall them back. You will be able to see and launch them from the home screen this time. Apps & contents of Play store are regionally available so if you don't see these 3 apps, you need to connect via a VPN that is US based. Try to look for some VPN app in the store. I use DroidVPN. Not so happy with it coz the connection is not so stable but at least it gets the job done.
My home screen here for example. After installation:
Lastly, as mentioned above, play store contents are limited by regions so even if we successfully install & launch these apps, we still need VPN connection to get books, magazines, movies & TV shows. And VPN is slow so I give up movies & TV, I just download books to read offline. Good enough for me though.
Good write up Sir ! Thanks for the info ....
Can I ask, when your music widget updates ,does your nexus lag? Assuming you're not using Google music, let's say you play a new song and it appears on your my library widget, does your home screen start lagging?

Yes, sorry about that.
very good set of apps.
however, I would've added poll with each app as an option. in this way you can gather community opinions.
for instance, looking at the list I already miss gmail and hangouts there (use them a lot, also imho they are the most popular google apps).
photos - for backup (but if drive can do it - no big deal)
also why add play music but not other play apps (I know it's player, but books and newsstand are readers, a bit illogical)
other than that - nice work.

I made this GApps according to my needs, and it's only the first version, so a few apps are missing.
For email I use Inbox, for photos Motorola Gallery, but I don't use Books and Newsstand.
I'll add:
. Google Camera
. Photos
. Inbox
. Newsstand
It's OK Inbox, or is Gmail better for you?
Hi, I currently have an Oppo Watch 3 Pro from China, and it pairs fine with my phone. However, it is running ColorOS 5.0 and not "WearOS" which means that Google Play Store / Services are not present on the device. I really need play store and google services because I plan on using it in the US, with Spotify, Google Keyboard, and (Sideloaded) YouTube primarily.
First, I tried downloading Google Play Services (Wearos) and Google Play Store (Wearos) directly from APKmirror.com and the result was the app constantly crashing upon launch:
The same was true when I used the extracted apk from my US Samsung Galaxy Watch 5.
Then, I extracted the Spotify (Wearos) apk from my US Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 using APK Extractor and tried sideloading directly onto the Oppo Watch via adb:

}
I also considered installing the full apk, but I wish to use the actual watch version, because the interface is really weird.
Youtube also shows this error upon startup, even when I (supposedly) have Google Services Framework sideloaded:
My Device Specs:
Model: Oppo Watch 3 Pro OWW211 (CN)
Software Version: ColorOS v5.0.0 / Android 11
Processor: Snapdragon W5 + Apollo4 Plus
What can I do in this situation? There's gotta be a way to run these apps on this supposedly android device, right? I really hate the almost region-locked aspect of electronics in China, but this Watch is seriously a lot better (in my experience) than my Samsung Watch 5, and I really wish I can use this in the US. I don't think they released a global version of this, or at least not accessible to me right now unfortunately.
