Android Market Gets An Overhaul: Videos, Books, And More Discovery Options

Good news for Android users: starting today, Google is rolling out a new version of Android Market to all handsets running Android 2.2 or higher (which makes up the vast majority of Android users). It's bringing with it a new UI, performance improvements, and a variety of features designed to help with app discovery, including new lists like 'Top Grossing' and recently trending applications (Google showed these additions off at Google I/O, but hasn't rolled them out to the mobile client until now). Oh, and everyone in the US is going to get their hands on the long-awaited Videos application, which was showcased at Google I/O but has only been available on a handful of devices until now. This new Market also merges the sale of Books, Video, and Apps into a single marketplace (before now you'd buy books using the dedicated Books app).
