Updated Android Market Now Being Pushed to Handsets

A couple weeks back Google announced that a new version of the Android Market would be making its way to devices running Android 2.2 and higher, and delivering on their word the update is now starting to appear on handsets around the US. Love it or hate it, the update should be delivered to all handsets soon enough. The new-look Market adds support for movie rentals and book purchases alongside apps and games, all packaged in redone tiled UI. You’ll find new top charts and access to editors’ picks. Of course, if you can’t practice a bit of patience the APK has been available for some time now, and you can go ahead and install it right away.
