Personally I think the re-branding is a mistake. How many consumers are going to go to the "Play Store" for their business apps? And who has "Played" a book recently?
It sounds like an idea thought up in the US (where you can "Play" Movies and "Play" Music) and applied to the rest of the ecosystem without any thought about the rest of the world being asked to "Play" apps. If you add in to that all of the apps, websites, and marketing material that developers have put together referring to Market has just been rendered worthless because there's no "Market" app on devices after the update it seems to have been really poorly thought out. Personally I'm expecting a rebrand again in the next year or two when Google realise that the name is confusing and conveys a limitation (i.e. a focus on entertainment) which doesn't exist.
