A Market, Store, Shop, whatever, is clear: the place you go to buy stuff. It should be a noun of some sort. A place you go or a thing you open to get other things. "Play", as a noun in this case, makes zero sense. In the form of "the act of play", it make it seem like it's a destination for nothing but games. As a verb, it does not apply to books or apps and is just awkward to name a * thing* after a verb. The whole point was, apparently, to unify content under one umbrella brand that applied to everything and it seems like they've done exactly the opposite. I just ... don't ... get it ... Sometimes I find it quite difficult to follow the logic that Google employs. > It's not hard. Think of something logical. Do the opposite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
