Google Play working!

Hey everyone, just wanted to chime in on to let you know that I received today my Lifebook Mars from the AliExpress vendor posted by Matilo. Device was shipped through DHL and arrived in an astonishing 3 days from China.

When I received it, device came with an older firmware (can't tell which one because I didn't pay attention), apparently the Chinese version? At least, upon rebooting after update to 1.0.2 it switched to Chinese, but I was able to get it back to English.

Long story short, before the update I tried enabling Google Play as in the video posted by Matilo as well; I did see the switch to enable Google Framework, but there was no apk available to install GPlay. I was a bit let down, but I received the notification regarding completion of the update; device rebooted (to Chinese, as I mentioned), but GPlay was installed! Confirmed it's working since I installed FBReader and Moon+Reader from the Play Store already.
