Android users may have already noticed some updates to the Android Market. It’s been updated with four new categories… They are: Comics, Health, Sports and Themes. No more browsing the Entertainment and Lifestyle categories aimlessly hoping to find the theme, sports game or comic you were hoping to stumble upon. I’d fully expect developers to start moving their apps into these new categories if appropriate, over the next little while. I’m sure word is still going out so it may take some time.

Overall, great move here. These new changes should certainly help the end user find what they’re looking for in the Market quickly, and easily. Two thumbs up, Google!
