Google Play Store 4.0 Hands-On

It looks like we won’t have to wait for Google IO for the new Play Store update as it just got outed recently. We go hands-on with the new Play Store, so check it out.

The interface and design is going much Holo – as Twitter and other apps for Android did (Tumblr redesigned their app as well). Google is aiming for uniformity and it’s doing a pretty good job.

We’re kinda hoping Movies, Books & other Play services reach us here in the Philippines sooner or later as it is a very important part of the Android ecosystem that Filipinos are not enjoying.

Do you like the new Play Store? How’s it working for you? Feel free to tell us what you think of Google’s update.

Google Play redesign might come soon, Google I/O?

Folks over at Droid-Life has gotten an alleged version of the Google Play Store, version 4.0, which brings a major UI overhaul.

Gone is the boxy-UI from the old version, and here comes all the bright colors and a massive dedication for Android’s Holo UI. Overall, it looks lighter and cleaner with similar feels to other Google apps like Google Now, YouTube and even things all the way down to Android’s messaging app.

The new Play interface fits perfectly with the other services of the company, so it seems very logical for the update to arrive. If you’re asking about the release of this update, well, it could silently slip into your phone unnoticed like the Google Settings app – or it could come this Google I/O – which is speculated to release a ton of things like Babble (a rumored messaging app that aims to unify Talk, Hangouts, Voice and the rest), the much-awaited Motorola X phone, and probably a new version of Android to release with a few Nexus devices.

Google’s been pretty active lately, since just recently they released their new service, Google Keep, they retired Google Reader, and who knows what’s next?
