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.

I can't even connect to the market. Keeps saying no connection.. yet my browser and all that works fine.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
