Android got a new market, Grossing and Trending

I have to say its not just Microsoft who can release unfinished products, it can be anyone and this time its Google. Google has released new Android Market and its one of the worst one i have ever seen.

Can you really believe this is the main screen of new Android market. Under Games there is section of STAFF CHOICES ( i really laughed and showed my colleague that is it a joke?) . Why is it staff choices, it could be User Choices or your choices or anything, why staff choices? Ah Google, you do one thing good and that is SEARCH.

If you go to my apps section, you cannot update any app by just clicking it, you have to open the app page then click on update and select "Accept and Update". A three step process.

I am really shocked. Only good thing i can say is they way tabs are organized like categories, featured, top paid, top free, top grossing and top trending. Google also has added is "clear search history" button in settings.

Not sure what google is trying to do. No wonder i say Apple has brain and Google is just googling around.

Yahoo app search

Yahoo! now has a new search category for Apps, so we call it "Yahoo app Search". It seems like good and easy way of searching apps for your phone. I have to say it works well, but i would say, it can be improved like any other thing in the world, there is always room for improvement.

One improvement i would say, yahoo should include apps for other Mobile Operating systems, like HP Palm's WebOs, Symbian, blackberry and Windows mobile. If yahoo can do that, then it will standout yahoo app search alot more than other app markets, now days every company has app market but there is no one place where to go and find apps for all kind of phones (a business idea - patent). Yahoo has man power and experience, i hope yahoo will do that soon.

Features:

        I found many features of K9 helpful, specially deletion of email from server and syncing folders.

K9 is full of features and surprises. Following are the ones i have noticed, if you find any good features please write them in comments.

1.   Ability to select multiple messages.
2. Swipe right to left in email view to go to next email and left to right to go to previous email.
3. Setup folder poll frequency.
4. One of the best features is folder selection, that means i can select folder to store email on SD Card.
5. Very funcky LED colour selector, if your phone supports multi-colour LED.

I will keep adding features if i find any.

Here are some images, how K9 looks like.
