Default Incorrect Android Market installed

My prime seemed to have the incorrect market installed. It was the phone version. I checked the market and sure enough under apps by google there was the tablet version of the market available for install. I installed it and it is a much more enjoyable experience. But i had to disable the built in market so i didn't have two icons.

Check yours, you may need the tablet version also!

Are you sure it's not an older version of the market (v 1.0.16)

No. I bought the tablet, barely touched it, ics came out, upgraded, market was always the same looking.

I can't uninstall the one that's there but it isn't the tablet version. The one I installed from google today is for tablets and looks much different.

If it is, why did a new product with honeycomb ship with it and why would it not be upgraded even after ics?

That really is extremely bizarre. Mine looks almost identical on both phone and tablet, but on the tablet it does show me "Staff choices for Tablets" and there is no "Market for tablets" listed as available.

Therefore I conclude that I have the correct market.

There's an older version of market in the marketplace. The version that came on the TF is the newest version i believe.

maybe it is the latest but if it is, the honeycomb one in the market looks more tablet friendly.

I guess this guy is talking about the app "Tablified Market" which is not from Google.
Neither does Google have a "tablet" version of the the market nor are any updates to the market done via the market itself....
