As someone recently said in an article I don't care enough about to track down to link to (sorry, whoever wrote it); it's not the best name, but it's not the worst name either. It's a fair point that no name would be objectively "best", as is proven by the plethora of discussions about what would be.
Still, in that spirit (pointless discussion, I mean, not objectivity): I understand the move from Android to Google; Google is more than their mobile os and they probably want to expand their content delivery platform, but Market to Play was weird, yeah... Market seems to describe what it is exceedingly well, somewhere you can go to browse a lot of different offers by a lot of different vendors (even if the free samples are a bit more plentiful than most rl markets). In the end though, what's in a name? An apk by any other name would run as sweet. (Yah, it's a paraphrasing lollapalooza today!)
