[q] google play store??? Why? - HTC Amaze 4G

What exactly was the purpose of changing the name of Market to something stupid like Play Store?
Were you guys freaking out too when you saw your Market app disappear???

I actually like the name change alot. Feels better to say. At least, for me.

Stupid part is we at T-mobile are "forbid" to call it the Marketplace. We got an email trickled down from the powers that be. Rediculous LOL

Really??? Who cares what it's called??

yeah....google play...lol...its more like google pay
google's moto: if its not broken lets fix it!
"market ? Oh that name makes way to much sense, lets call it something else so people dont think they are at the 'market' spending money. Lets get them to spend money by making them think its just for fun!" ,
I like what the one exec said leaving google:
when I started, google was a technology company...when I left they were an advertising company...
google, apple or microsoft.... whats your poison?
on another note this should probably be moved to general

I'm getting impatient with Sprint, I've been with them a year, pay my bill on time, and they still haven't removed me from the spending limit program.
Every rep I spoke to since I joined Sprint said 1 year. Now they're telling me it take 1.5 years. I don't truly care about a $5 charge, just the fact that they will lie to me, and won't do anything to fix the problem. My whole family is AT&T, and I think we're all going to Verizon...
Any hope at ESN-swapping a 3D to Verizon? 'cause it's either that or I get the SGS II when it hits Verizon

Get off the internet entirely then. This is inevitable and bound to eventually happen. You can avoid android, google, gmail, but there will always be another site you use that do the exact same thing your trying to avoid. (Facebook? bing? Yahoo? etc... )
Your fighting an already lost war.
apple has been caught doing worse to their consumers, WP7 has complete "crap" you are agreeing to when you first start your phone up, but obviously nobody reads all of it. now google yaaaaay. looks like blackberry will be the only protected OS, along with whatever Nokia is working on. cant wait for BB10
Maybe I am missing something here but I fail to see why this is a bad thing. Sure they collect and store your information but its to better serve you as the user across all of their services.

So Big Brother watching over is ok with some I guess. It's not "bad," it's invasive. Who's to say Google won't start selling my search profile to marketing teams to start spamming? If it's to help serve us, why isn't it optional? Who really thinks Google isn't good enough as it is? There is no reason for this. Facebook tried something similar yrs ago when I was on that site, but everyone revolted so they changed their mind.

Well mind you, people can't see your information since all of them are tied together using a program that will pick your likes and output it to you. Unless they made an internal program within google company to sift through all those data just to grab some dirt on a politician or something...... Are you a politician?

Tried? They do that now! Have been.
I am not a lawyer but I'm still not seeing how merging privacy policies gives Google more data. I would think they had the data before, it's one company.
Personally I was a freaked out more by the Google DART cookie setup a few years back. When Google basically said we are going to have this cookie on your computer tracking what you do. Since so many sites use Google Analytics, Google AdSense, etc. that means they know a lot about what you do even outside of Google sites. Since you can't really "log-out" of Google services on your Android phone I've always wondered how much they track.
Google ad opt out add on, moved email to hushmail and deleted contacts. I win.. unless they truly don't delete stuff. If not that should be illegal.

Personally I think that Sony is going to take issue with it since it is so close to Playstation Store.

awful, AWFUL name. seriously, these "marketing geniuses" are a bunch of idiots. why didn't they just rename it to Google Market and be done with it? Google Play? what the hell is that? some 12 year olds toy? market is much more of a mature sounding name.

Love the phone, don't get me wrong but does it feel to anyone else like we're kinda overlooked in general. The hype was huge but it feels like when I got my myTouch 3G Slide. The hardware was wonderful and was pretty solid. Then the Vibrant was released 2 weeks later. The Slide got overshadowed and forgotten. Did they ever get an official 2.2 update?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Just got my update 10 mins ago. Name definitely sounds dumb and so is the icon.
I got the new version and the first thing I did was change the icon and remove the label. Now it's like old days. Ahhh, yesterday.

The entire concept of profanity is asinine anyway. Who determines what words are "profane" and what words aren't? All words are fine in my opinion thinking that one word is worse than another word is honestly just stupid.
