Desktop Android Market to sync apps wirelessly - CNET

General News

Summary

Google is working on an enhanced web portal to its Android Market, with plans to make the whole catalogue searchable through a desktop browser and to deliver app purchases wirelessly to the phone. The browser-accessible system will let Android owners hunt through all available apps, purchase them where applicable and have the code delivered directly to their phone over the air. "Were innovating the market at a very rapid pace, youre going to see a lot of improvements and new features from now on and throughout the rest of the year." In its current state, the Android Market hosts nearly 100,000 applications, but its rudimentary search tools make it difficult to identify the truly useful ones. Also during Google I/O, the company announced its acquisition of Simplify Media and its software, which streams a users music from their PC to their mobile phone.
