Google has started rolling out a new version of the Google Play Store app which seemingly doesn’t change a thing. However, under the hood there are a number of changes as reported by AndroidPolice. By unpacking the APK, they managed to spot new features Android smartphone and tablet users will be able to access in the near future.
There are two new things incoming – gift card support and wishlist. As you can imagine, the former will allow you and your friends to buy each other gift certificates that can be redeemed for apps and other content sold through Google Play. This is something Apple has been allowing in iTunes for quite some time now and I guess that’s something Google should implement as well.
As for the wishlist, this feature will allow you to add apps, games and videos to the wishlist and eventually buy it later. Again, very useful and something pretty much any decent web store offers these days…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
