No more one app marketplace, one G book store, one G music account, it's all in one area now called Google Play. Games such as Need for Speed, Music from Lady Gaga and many others, ebooks, movies and android apps.
Strategically this is a better way forward, it's all online, mobile, and all centralised for all your media. (Hurry up with that Google TV dammit!)
That said apart from a few lucky Australians like me who have Google music, this new play service is pretty useless here. It's the Android market with some new wallpaper. Meh!
Ideally less fannying with the name Google, more on sorting out region restrictions and inconsistent pricing for music, books, and (lack of) movies.
Still it's not iTunes and a humongous lump of bloatware I must drag around download and be forced to sync with (which invariably wipes your device more often than not) so it gets a bloody big plus from me : )
