Google Streamlines Android Market

SAN FRANCISCO — Android’s explosive growth over the past three years has been a double-edged sword for its apps. On the plus side, there are more of them than ever. On the negative side, there are more of them than ever.

Google on Wednesday announced a slew of updates aimed at improving customers’ ability to find and buy apps in the Android Market, as well as developers’ ability to sell them.

“The biggest problem we have in the Market is discovery,” said Michael Novak, Android engineer for Groupme.com, in an interview. “Google has definitely heard the complaints from people like me, and these new features being rolled out are proof.”

Navigability issues have plagued Google’s app-shopping system on the customer end, making it hard for people to find the apps they want, or even to realize that there are apps they might be interested in. For their part, developers have complained that it’s easier to make money in Apple’s App Store than it is in the Android Market.

For customers, finding the most popular apps may get easier with one of the many new lists Google has added, each detailing the top performing apps in specific categories. The Twitter-esque top “Trending” list, for example, highlights the most-downloaded apps over the past seven days. If an app continues to be among the highest-downloaded over that seven-day period, it will move into either the “Top Paid” or “Top Free” lists, which cover popularity over a 30-day period.

Google’s addition of the “also viewed” and “also installed” lists add an interesting social component to the market. It’s almost taste-making through app downloads — if you like a particular application you’ve installed, you can browse a number of applications also installed by others who installed your particularly enjoyable app.

And while these new list additions make it easier for customers to search for new apps to download, it’s also better for app developers who want their apps to be showcased more prominently on the Market. More lists across more categories means more opportunities for a developer’s app to be seen by customers. And that means more opportunities to get paid.

Some think progressions like these are long overdue.

“These are features that Apple has had for years,” said industry analyst Michael Gartenberg. “These sorts of features are table stakes at this point in the game.”

Indeed, Google’s Android Market web store, a version of the store that’s accessible through your computer’s browser, first debuted in February. In contrast, iPhone users have been able to access the App Store by web browser since February 2010.

As Google tackles these problems, the market’s patronage continues to expand. Although historically the Android Market’s customer base has been focused on the United States and a handful of other countries, Google’s “Android developer ecosystem manager” Eric Chu says it’s important to pay attention to the burgeoning international market. Over 60 percent of the 400,000-plus daily Android device activations are now coming from outside the United States, according to Chu.

Google wants take advantage of this growing international market. Next week, says Chu, Android developers will be able to accept payment from 131 different countries across multiple currencies.

In direct contrast to Apple, however, Google’s app store has typically been lauded by open source enthusiasts for its lack of vetting process in accepting apps from developers. Submitting an app to Apple’s App Store requires direct approval from the company before the app can be sold to the public. Google’s process is more open.

This week has brought a host of different additions and expansions for the Android Market. On Tuesday, Google announced a movie-rental service addition to the market, which allows you to wirelessly stream films to your Android smartphone or tablet devices for a period of up to 24 hours after first renting the film. The current selection ranges in the thousands, with prices starting at $2 for older films and $4 for more-recent releases.

Google TV will receive access to the Android Market for the first time this summer, which may help the ailing television platform garner a larger following. Developers will also receive a Honeycomb 3.1–based software developer kit to begin building Google TV–specific apps at some point in the coming months.

Apps: Bubble - boost your mind power

Everyone has bad days: you forget to cheer your friend on as they enter their first job interview. Your boss’s son might have that pesky flu bug again, and you should have sent flowers. Guess someone won’t be getting that promotion after all, eh?

What about the little things that might not be as career-threatening, like receiving back the book your friend borrowed from you and never gave it back or not forgetting to ask your friend about the new things that are going on in his life he told you about last time you talked ? There are just times where it can really feel like you’re losing your mind. Does it really have to be this way?

Not when you have the power of technology on your side. You’re already rocking that shiny new Android phone anyway, so why not put the apps to good use? It’s all about being able to get things done in a big way by using little apps to get you from one place to another.

So if you feel like you’re losing your mind and you need some glue to keep your head on your shoulders, you really need an app like Bubble to hold things together.

It’s a catchy name for a great app — Bubble’s mission is simple: give you space for personal reminders for each contact. Now, you might have heard that before on other programs, but this is different. Instead of being buried in a bunch of screens that you have to navigate to, Bubble actually makes those reminders pop up on the incoming screen when the contact in question calls you!

But what about when you actually want to look at reminders before you make that important phone call so you can remember exactly what you want to say? Bubble has you covered there as well — you can review the “bubbles” (personal reminders) for each call before you make it.

In a hectic life, it can be hard to remember to add bubbles. That’s why the Bubble app covers you again by making it easy to search through your calls and tag them with bubbles so that you can add those reminders while you remember them. We all know what happens if you put it off till later — you’ll forget, and we can’t have that now can we?

Staying organized is the key to winning in life, no matter if we’re talking about the business world or the social world that we all share. You shouldn’t have to worry about being caught without having all of your preparation time — and Bubble helps you win the day. You might think that such an app would really break the bank, but that’s not the case here — Bubble is free.  You can also find Bubble app on Facebook. Why not pick up this app today?  You’ll truly be glad you did!
