Android Market checks out, Google Play moves in

Android Market checks out, Google Play moves in, article.
Beginning Tuesday, the Android Market will be known as the Google Play Store. Google's eBookstore and recently launched music service will also be part of the Google Play Store. The same selection of books, music and movies had already been available on Android Market.

The site looks nice, but "Google Play Store"?? What, "Toys R Us Too" was taken?

I'll have to check out the video store though. I've been wanting to buy video on Android, but there's not really been anything I knew of, and on the Kindle Fire, video and music is only available for USA so far.
Hmmm... seems only 48-hour rental is available here in the UK though, on Google Play. I don't know why they don't simply make it two months these days, it's not like they have to get a video casette back before they can rent it out again.

BTW, I just watched RED. Cor blimey, as the Brits say, that was a fun movie. And funny. I'm a pacifist, but seeing Helen Mirren in a stylish party dress shooting a machine cannon almost the size of a small car was just fun, gotta admit it.

As a Mirren fan, now you got me interested as well.

Well, she is a very tough lady in Prime Suspect.
