Anyone out there experiencing some problems with their GSM Galaxy Nexus? I am having a rebooting problem with my GNex..updated play movies, play music, play books earlier today and a few hours after my GNex started rebooting continuously non stop. It did that for an hour continuously… i even took out the battery a few times but that didn’t remedy the situation. After about an hour of the continuous reboot it eventually stopped. Seemed ok for about an hour but had an update for play music and after i did the update it started the continuous reboot again. Just took the battery out again cuz the device has started to feel warm after nonstop continuous rebooting. If anyone out there has some ideas or insight on how to remedy the situation..it will be greatly appreciated.

Interesting how Google Play is only on devices running 2.2 and above, just how voice actions run 2.2 and above. Could we be seeing some voice commands for ‘Play’ integrated into voice search?

Hate the name though, Google Market makes sense on both Computer and Android.

My thoughts exactly, but I was thinking Google Marketplace. I guess that it won’t matter though, after I look at and use Google Play for a day or two I probably won’t think about it again.

Yea, they should keep the name basic. There are so many new things coming out these days, it’s hard to differentiate between what’s what.
Look at Netflix, trying to split things up. People take awhile to adjust…if they ever do.
Google market sounds good.

What a dumb move by Google. I liked the name Android Market but I guess Google didn’t want to assume that everything in the store could only run on Android. However I think a better name than Google Play is Google Market. To me Google Market implies a place to buy stuff. Google Play sounds like another wonky product that Google comes up with such as Google Wave and Google Buzz.
