new market = great

Love the new look and feel. It's running pretty fast on my phone. When you click on an app, the product description and picture load faster than the old market loads on my thunderbolt. Very nice update indeed. It helps make android look that much more grown up.

Haha wait a second. It's layout very much resembles Amazons Appstore. Still cool though.

I've been using it for almost a day now without issue. I do like that there's so much going on visually but I kinda feel like I'm in Chinatown and a million dudes are trying to sell me stuff I don't really want or need when I'm just trying to get to the dim sum spot.

Its about time...

I downloaded this earlier today and so far I really like it. Kinda reminds me of the old market (probably just because its dark). I noticed its a little slow to load at first, but it seems to be moving a little fast once it loads the first time (at least on mine). Hopefully the official release will be faster though. The movie trailers seem to pretty clear, I would like to see how good the quality of the movies are. I'll probably give it a try tomorrow..

Are you talking about ads or just how busy it looks? If your getting ads you can disable them in the settings menu

I had the same sentiment when I first started using it. I think Google just took note of other app markets and made a lot changes to catch up. I like Amazon's appstore but I don't get many apps there so I'm glad to see Google making improvements.

I have installed the new market, seems to be working OK, but some apps have Chinese text in the description, eg:facebook. This is happening on my UK Sensation and my wife's Australian Incredible S. So it's not our phones or settings. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
