iLuvAndroid – Feeding your Android Addiction with news, reviews and guides

Fresh from updating to the latest Cyanogen Experimental 4.1.10 build there was a little surprise awaiting for us all… The brand new Android Market! It certainly is a step up from the old version with a much better layout and graphics to reflect the changes we can expect from Donut.

As the Android Market expands constantly, organisation becomes pivotal so the guys over at Android has created further genres for applications to fall under.

• Comics
• Communication
• Entertainment
• Finance
• Health
• Lifestyle
• Multimedia
• News & Weather
• Productivity
• Reference
• Shopping
• Social
• Sports
• Themes
• Tools
• Travel
• Demo
• Software Libraries

Pretty extensive if you ask me. Another welcome addition is the ability to not only read a description of the application itself but also any media such as screenshots.

This is a welcome move as now you can visually see what the application looks like in terms of user-ability. I’m not sure how soon this will be officially rolled out to every Android device over-the-air (OTA) but those who have rooted devices can enjoy this right now, along with the other enhancements of course! Here are some more screenshots of the new Android Market.
