When Google chopped the Android Market off at the knees to unveil their new all-in-one media store dubbed Google Play, most people's initial reaction was not all that favorable. In fact, "confused" is probably not even close to being the appropriate word to describe the way most Android fans felt. I argued that it made sense in the big scheme of things as Google likely wanted to draw away from the idea that their music, movie and book stores were tied to Android devices and instead show the world that they were available to everyone. While the name choice is still a bit puzzling, I do think it was the right move if Google plans to not only break into the tablet market with Android, but also to be more than just the "other smartphone OS for geeks."
