Google rolling out new Android Market in a couple of weeks. You can get it now

Google has announced that it will be rolling out a new version of the Android Market in the coming weeks for Android phones running 2.2 or above.

The new Android Market will allow book purchases and movie rental directly from your Android device and make them available across all your other devices via your Google account without the need for wires. This is great stuff but unfortunately it will be available in limited countries starting from the US. Don’t hold your breath hoping for these features to come to Malaysia.

Aside from that, the one thing that’s relevant to all Android users is the major overhaul of the look and feel of the market.

The design makes finding the apps you want and discovering news apps much easier. It’s also more enjoyable to use compared to the various other iterations of the app. The introduction of app collections like staff picks and Editors’ Choice apps are much welcomed as well.

Overall the new Android Market is great and a joy to use. How do we know? Where using it now and you can to. No rooting or hacking required. All you need to do is click on the link below from your computer, drag the installer into your Android’s memory card and from your Android device click install, and there you go, you’re using the new Android Market.

Try out the new Android Market for yourself now. Just remember, you need to be running Android 2.2 or above.

Enjoy!
