Google Market offered apps. Google Play adds the ability to rent and purchase music, movies, video and other media along with the apps.

So, a new name.

moin moin,

what is Google play? Replacement for Google market?

Guess it's Google learning from KDE, specifically Aaron Seigo's Make Play
Live project :).

Ha, the help center article Google points to doesn't exist.

http://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=de&answer=2490014

"Die von Ihnen angeforderten Informationen wurden leider nicht gefunden.
Durchsuchen Sie bitte die Hilfe."

"We're sorry, but the information you've requested cannot be found. Please
try searching or browsing the Help Center. "

Ok, looks like it is official and not some man in the middle thing.

Annoying that it requires 4 different terms of service. Guess they didn't
consolidate that down...

ciao,

der.hans
