Google has launched the newest version of the Android Marketplace application yesterday which is going to be rolled out to all Android 2.2 + phones in the coming weeks. If you can’t wait that long the you hit this link and grab the APK that you will then manually install on you device. As you will see the UI has be heavily revamped compared to the previous version but contrary to what some people are saying I don’t find it really Metro inspired beside the main screen which looks closer to the Mosaic By Tribune app more than anything else. (see picture after the break).
Anyway, the new marketplace will also allow US users to download e-books and rent videos (the Google Videos app is needed). Users now also have the choice to opt-out of interest based admob ads in applications. Check out the video of the app running on the HTC Sensation and a quick comparison of the Mango Market on the Omnia 7:
