I gave them nicknames/labels and then when I went to try out pushing an install... it let me choose which of them to install onto. I went ahead and installed a free chess game on my Tab through the website. Literally a SECOND later I see the download icon on my Tab's status screen.

OMIGOD...ROCK ON!! This works as fluidly (although seemingly faster) like on my XBOX LIVE account through the xbox.com website. BEAUTIFUL!

I tried pushing to my Droid (rooted and seems to still be running the old Market)... BAM! As smoothly as the Tab, it just appears! I.. loooove the new market! A LOT! It's such an "untethered" feeling! So much better than that half-assed iTunes experience.
It's beautiful, right? It's such a small change, but it makes a HUGE difference in usability. It's quite clear that Android is maturing and I love this push for higher levels of usability rather than simply new features.

I love the large layouts and simple navigation. This is how a web store should be done!

Android is now competing much more intently on the one front that most claim Apple holds a monopoly on -- supreme usability. At the rate of Android's improvement, it will arguably offer a superior experience on all fronts very soon.
