Android phones running Android 1.6 or better, but not the newest Android Froyo system, will start seeing an updated Android App Market. The new market brings these older phones in line with the newer App Market features. Phones will be able to update apps in bulk, and apps will be able to update themselves automatically. The new App Market also features a tabbed browsing interface. The update is rolling out without notification to eligible devices.

is a half-arsed "me too" platform that Google knocked off from Apple. The only difference is that Android is adware where competing OS's are tied in with hardware sales. That's it.
