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).

So it's a redesign which takes advantage of movies and books even though I won't be able to use movies and books.

Riiiiiiight.

Anyone think it looks a bit WP7-ish? I guess it's really more of a redesign that reflects the other redesigns in other areas of Google.

i really don't see the appeal of renting/watching a movie on a tiny screen like that. maybe on an android tablet...

I figured it's basically just to say you can kinda deal. But yeah definitely would rather a tablet or some type of TV appliance for this :) Netflix is great and all but it would be great to just have one source for everything!

Installed it but seems there's some bugs in there still so i'll try pushing it and overwrite the older one. The bug i got was updating facebook to 1.6.1 yesterday and it just wouldn't show the option to update (even though i got the message) then when it finally did it downloaded and installed and "updated" but when i went to the app and checked the about page it still showed 1.6.0 (as well as in Applications). So for whatever reason, it just wasn't working so right there.

(yes i restarted a few times :D).

Anyways, i'll try again and see if it makes a diff.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Since the launch of the iPhone Air, we’ve heard conflicting rumors and speculation about the fate of Apple's ultra-thin iPhone. As it turns out, Apple is not going to ditch the Air model from its lineup, and a second generation is already planned for next year. As reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, citing people familiar with the matter, the second-generation iPhone Air is planned for spring 2027 and is poised to receive notable upgrades. The upgraded model, codenamed V62, will reportedly feature an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography. The new camera system is said to be in advanced testing within Apple. Gurman also says the second-generation iPhone Air could offer better battery life, either through a larger battery or software improvements. The overall design of the device is expected to remain unchanged. A single rear camera and below-average battery life were among the biggest drawbacks of the first-generation iPhone Air despite its $999 price tag. Hopefully, the next iPhone Air will fare better. Gurman also added that the device will be powered by the A20 Pro processor. The release of the second-generation iPhone Air in spring 2027 aligns with previous reports that Apple is shaking up the iPhone release cycle. Accordingly, the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the company’s first foldable iPhone are expected to launch in September 2026, followed by the iPhone 18 and the new iPhone Air roughly six months later. The 20th-anniversary iPhone is also reportedly planned for fall 2027. Meanwhile, if you’re planning to buy the refreshed iPhone Air, Apple might surprise you with a new price tag. As we reported today, CEO Tim Cook confirmed that price increases are on the way due to rising memory chip costs and a severe shortage. With that in mind, analysts estimate that the base iPhone 18 Pro could cost as much as $1,399 this year. The current $999 iPhone Air may not be immune to those price hikes.
