So I knew they would get updates today but just letting some people know I just checked and I had like 8 updates from the Play store. Chrome, Books, G+, Maps and a few other things I use all got updated.
Yep and the new YouTube is Awesome looking.
Edit. Damn Google + got a major UI overhaul too. Me likes.

hahaha yeah I just started to play with it freaking sweetness.
I don't like it all, everything is just too big now. It's like visual overload.
I wish there was a way to order the videos that show up in YouTube, before they were in order of when uploaded, now they are just random with no options

The offline maps feature can come in pretty handy when you lose cell reception. Good update in a long time that's actually useful.

Damn I just wish chrome had quick controls. So used to them can't use it without them
maps labs has allowed caching of 100 sq mile maps for months now. this isn't new, just expanded.
Loving G+ new UI.
Did you notice its so lookalike to the Facebook app UI. Hmmm

The new Google Maps is AMAZING! I just wish Chrome was compatible with Gingerbread!
Can someone please post an HD version of the latest YouTube app? They actually like our phones aren't HD capable when they clearly are. If not, I'll just continue to use my older version
Dang. It's great to be on ICS right now with all these updates.
Glad Google is doing it's best at I/O
YouTube app crashing on CM9 A5
Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm running CM9 Alpha 5 and all of these updates are good except YouTube which is crashing before opening. The only way to watch videos for me is within chrome.
Update: Solved by reinstalling the app from the new jelly bean market which imbonez9 posted here

Hi all,
Is it only me who feels bad about official twitter app - I mean bad performance & lag on GN 4.0.2?

Go to settings and turn on GPU acceleration. It makes pretty much everything faster and without lag.
Use Seesmic - by far the best twitter client imo.

This, sort of. It will make twitter run smooth but some apps won't work altogether with it enabled. (Just some examples Capital One Mobile app, and Asphalt 6).

have you tried TweakDeck yet? its what was originally TweetDeck until Twitter bought them and stripped the best features from it.

with gpu accerleration selected im sorry i can't agree with this thread. twitter works perfect with no lag at all when this is selected, i honestly don't know how much faster you can expect this to be. and this is someone who owns every pro version of every twitter app

Yeah have tried them all, but keep going back to seesmic. Even though it FC's sometimes on ICS..
Just played with Twitter on my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S Vibrant (with Passion ICS) and it seems like it's noticeably quicker at scrolling and opening tweets on my Vibrant.
Weird. It still works well enough on the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not bothered by it. Kinda surprised though that it is a bit slower, I guess the larger screen, dunno.
Thank you all...
I tried them all. I prefer hootsuite. But recently I wanted to try the official twitter app (never tried the new design version before). I like the rich features it has and the design. But the last few days was bad experience with this app. It lags. The drag to refresh keeps running so when i get back to app, I often don't find my time line at the same position I left it.
Thanks for the new thing I learnt now: 2d GPU rendering. Yes I noticed smoothness but some other apps were distorted, e.g., mynetdiary and hootsuite itself.

Replying to tweets is noticeably slower on my phone than my girlfriend's myTouch 4G. I think it's just an optimization thing as I believe AP or AC did an article on the slowness of the app on ICS. It is what it is...

Yes i get bad lag on the official twitter app too. Gpu hardware enabled does not help at all either. But its always been like this for me and the twitter app had identical lag on my atrix too. So i always thought this app had issues, not my phones.
I'm not really fussed about the speed of Twitter, I just wish it would sync my Twitter friends and contacts..... Constantly get a "Sync Error".

Best to switch to a different Twitter app. using 2D rendering might benefit the official Twitter app but might work against other apps.

A friend of mine had a Galaxy Note with HD screen... he said to me that also had lag with oficial twiter app...
So I just noticed this (and it was not there this morning at around8 when I looked at updates)
Both Google Music and Google Books were updated but they also come with name changes. Google Music is now Play Music and Books is now Play Books Along with the name changes comes new Icons for them now also. Not really sure about the name change (since I just got them installed and just now starting to play with them) figured I'd let a few ppl know incase you didn't look.
Play Music is now v 4.1.513
Play Books is now 2.3.5(20305)
Nice find!
The name change has to do with Google recently having a bunch of site domains registered under "Google Play". Speculation is that it's for the nexus tablet coming out.

Ah interesting. So far music does seam a bit more smooth (on FB27 will test it with FC05 later today once I have it installed) But noticeably smoother scrolling of the list for sure
Google is changing the name of the Android Market to Google Play. Everything exactly the same except the name and logo. This is just the beginning of the changes.

According to Engadget, it'll be called the Play Store lol and, as mentioned above, it'll come with Play Books, Play Music, and Play Movies. GPlay FTW!
Oh, and they're gonna have a "Seven Days to Play" sale, so look out for deals in the near future
Google really needs to standardize the Games experience.
Call it "Google games" and have it associated with your Google account (G+)
One user name for all online games.
That would really help the games aspect of the market.

I'm still somewhat new to Android, so please excuse my noob question. I had a Skyrocket for a few weeks and just got my GS3 yesterday.
Are certain apps not yet compatible with our phone? I had ICS on my Skyrocket, but certain apps like Scrabble and Asphalt 6 will not show up in the Play store now.
Thanks for any info.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yup, it looks like the developer hasn't updated it to be compatible with the S3. (Scrabble). If you look up the apps via play.google.com you can see what devices an application can be installed on. On your phone under the PLay app, it just won't show up.
Thanks for the tip! Here's hoping the app gts updated soon. I love Android, but I never knew of this drawback. I know it will vary by developer, but is it usually a matter of weeks or months before apps become compatible?
Going from iOS to android is an amazing chsnge. Everything is better. Especially the Google apps. Unfortunately there's one problem with the YouTube app. Where's the deticated subscription only videos tab. Only a channel feed which is just filled with videos my subscriptions liked commented etc. Am I missing something or what but I can't find the subscription only view mode.
Youtube app version: latest 4.0.23

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of the unofficial YouTube apps on the Play Store. The official YouTube app I use is terrible. Always buffering. Even on a strong wifi connection. YouTube through the browser works alright, but is less convenient. Anybody have any recommendations?

Ima register my interest here - since getting a tablet I've found i cannot watch HD vids due to buffering issues that don't exist in browser or on other devices using the same connection.
I never play strictly audio from YouTube as there are plenty of OTHER audio options I use on the M. When I'm on YouTube it's for videos. Heck the website works from my phone better than the app.

I know it's been a few months from the last response, but I feel like I should still reply in case you/someone else is still interested in a better Youtube app.
Viral HD Youtube Popup Player is the best Youtube app I've found for Android, far better than the official app. You can actually choose what quality video you want instead of HQ/HD and not HQ/HD, which is something about the official app that really annoys me. Also it doesn't shove recommended videos in your face when you start it, it instantly shows your subscriptions. The player interface also has much more usability (eg. changing the brightness/volume and being able to lock it) and it also has a neat feature to play the video in a popup window while you do other stuff (which isn't very useful in most situations really and you can disable it in the settings if you don't use it) or you can just have the video play in the background (which is really useful in case it's a podcast/music video).
It does have some bugs and missing features, which I'm sure will get fixed eventually, but in general the app looks really good and polished unlike most other unofficial Youtube apps.
(I was going to put a link to it in the Play store, but since I can't just search for Viral HD Youtube Popup Player and you'll find it)
PS. I've no idea if it fixes the buffering issue, I just had to share it since it's fairly difficult to stumble upon it in the Play store and it's just so good that it deserves far more than 100k downloads
