Looks much nicer, but those outside the US be aware that the main page is currently not populated, only shows the main categories. The rest seems to work fine.

I downloaded this earlier. I've not had a proper look around yet but it seems to look a lot better than the previous incarnation.

Ugh. Looks as bad as the Overdrive redesign.

Looks like this page is dynamically populated based on your location, and Google has not rolled out the update in some countries, so nothing's being fetched on the main page. Once Google pushes this update to more countries we should start seeing content.

Will the new Facebook package for Androids be available at the Play Store?

Note that they listed a set of supported devices, so Facebook may limit the devices where their app will be allowed to install. |

I am getting to be an old guy, I guess. Not chasing after a "social" life so much any more, but a lot of people are, and they will use it. |

The new Play Store showed up on my Galaxy Note today. One of the best downgrades in the history of tablets.
Small light fonts on a stark white background. Probably works for a twenty year old with 20/10 vision, but tough on the old timers. The prize for the best choice to further the downgrade was the person who made the choice of a light green button with white text: Pure genius! |
