If you want to install it before it gets rolled out follow the link in the article.

It's definitely different and very WP7 inspired. Been using it for about 15min. Seems too cluttered for my tastes.

I like the looks of it, but I think it there might be too many squares and not enough indians.

Apparently it blocks root users from watching videos they paid for.

I'll definitely try it out, can't be any worse than the current one

There's a refund site, Android Police has a link to it. If I had the time and money, I'd buy a video just to raise holy hell.

Search seems to work infinitely better than before. I can actually find stuff I searched for quickly.

After being on iOS for a couple of weeks, I'm not convinced either one is a clear winner.

Uhh no, actually this new one's not too bad. The old market SUUUUCKS, like WTH was Google thinking sucks. This new one's still not nearly as nice as Amazon's, but it's a big step up. Excuse me for having standards

After being on iOS for a couple of weeks, I'm not convinced either one is a clear winner.

When I had an iOS device I could find stuff I wanted to buy, I dropped about $500 total on apps over a few years. On Android's Market I've searched and searched and searched and only found a few apps. This new one's already finding things the old one didn't. Kudos to Google they'll probably start to get some $$$ from me buying sh!t now.

I like this new Market. The old one sucked, with the gigantic green header that took up half the screen.

Frankly I prefer market.android.com and installing over Wifi. Faster and easier.

No, it really is the worst out of all of them by a pretty wide margin. That's IMO of course and apparently QueBert's... but I guess we forgot we're in AT where anybody with an opinion is labeled a troll and/or fanboy.

I tried it on my Transformer tab. Was somewhat cool. Im just not ready for it yet.
