Besides the design, the team have included additional features including Videos, Multiple APK Support, Books and better categories. "New interface to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies.", as said by the google mobile blog.
Now let's talk about some of the new features
New categories/sections
There will be new categories/sections of the Android Market. We’ll see some more top charts like – Trending, revamped Top Free,revamped Top Paid, and a curated Editor’s Choice list – making app discovery easier than ever.
There will also be a new Editor’s Choice list, which includes apps that Google's Official think is good enough to be put in the spotlight – this is a big deal, because it basically makes Google a “Kingmaker” for certain apps.
Multiple APK Support
With multiple APK support, added later on, developer can now upload multiple versions of an APK for a single product listing (application), with each one addressing a different subset of the customers. These APKs are complete, independent APKs that share the same package name, but contain code and resources to target different Android platform versions, screen sizes, or GL texture-compression formats.
So when we download or purchase such APK apps, Android Market chooses the right APK to deliver according to the device like Android phones, or tablets or to say in simpler word Android Market automatically chooses the right version of application for your device.
Movies
With the Videos app, rent movies (Support only for USA) starting at just 1.99$ there’s no more waiting for downloads or syncing. Simply sign into Android Market with your Google account, and you can rent movies from anywhere – the web, or your Android phone or tablet – and start watching instantly. You may also download movies to your device so they’re available for viewing when you don’t have an internet connection.
