The Google Play icon takes up a quarter of my Droix X2 screen. No way to minimize it or make it stay in a corner. Just because you *can* take over my phone, doesn’t mean you have to! And I’m not a fan of the icon highlighting new apps to entice me to buy them. As for the name change, I don’t really care what they call it, as long as I can download apps.

To everyone that doesn’t like the new icons on your homescreen, check your launcher to see if you can change the icons and rename them. ADW launcher lets you do that, it’s what I’m using.

I was also hoping for gapless playback to finally be included in the stock music player.

My friend saw this and thought google was no longer supporting android since no product list google anymore and went out to buy an iphone. Bad move Google, should have milked the google brand name, not this play crap.

That being said, I dont personally care if they call it your souls google’s now market,as long as I can get my apps I’m happy

OK…wtf. App drawer calls it Play Music, Manage Applications calls it Google Play Music. When I click on Play Music, it launches camera…..Droid Bionic fyi.

How about making actual changes that matter.
1) Shouldn’t a music app that resumes playing something as soon as you start it.
2) If I pick a song to play, shouldn’t something else play after it. (like whatever was playing before I picked it) this is a music app. It should be about making sure “the beat goes on” rather then I won’t play anything until you pick something.
3) if I uploaded my own stuff, and it was in a foreign language. Even though I am in US (land of immigrants) shouldn’t MP3 tags still work ok ? (if you force me to pick Text encoding during upload .. fine)
I can keep going!

i agree. google market would have just been fine to unify the products.

My Crystal Ball is saying that they are working on releasing a better Voice Activation App like Siri and this will help that work. It’s not for the now but for integration of Google Assistant. Come you techies, didn’t you seen it?

Seriously Google… all you had to do was change the name from Android Market to Google Market, but instead you screwed up the names of everything by adding “Play”?!?

Bad move.

Now admit it was a mistake and change it back.

If they wanted unity they should have just discontinued all the apps and made them all in just Google Play, in which is your music, books, and movies are selected inside it.

EXACTLY my thoughts. Not everyone uses their phones as a mobile gaming console. Does Google want to imply that everything is “fun&games”!?!? Stupid move. If they wanted to group their products why nor choose a more professional term?

What’s next? Play Phone and Play Tablet? This new naming scheme just gave all of their products a very childish tone. None of it sounds professional at all.
