Androidome - Recently I came across an interesting discussion regarding the branding of the Android App store which was renamed by Google as the ‘Google Play Store’. In that discussion most of the Android users showed their discontentment with the new name and how it had caused confusion among a number of new Android users who were looking for the Android Apps market.

Points well taken...but I don't think it will be a problem in the long term. However the icon combined with the name could cause confusion since that triangular shape is normally associated with video players. Oh well.
Exactly. Many of my own friends who were new to Android got confused with the Google Play. People take is as some kind of application itself.
Agreed…
Google Play is a weird name for the market.
Google AppStore is a good option though..
Google AppStore is good too but it poses one problem. It doesn't cover the span of ebooks and music that you can buy from Google Play as well.
i still don't know what was wrong with "Android Market".
