Android Market 3.4.4 [Download]

It seems Google’s got a new version of the Android Market rolling out for everyone. Its version number is 3.4.4 and the most noticeable change (aside from a slight difference in verbiage for the auto-add shortcut option) is just how fast the application performs.

The application is as image rich as it’s ever been, I understand why some older devices struggle to handle it smoothly. But users are reporting that the application provides significant speed improvements and folks on devices as old as the HTC Hero are no longer pull out their hair trying to navigate their way around the market.

The update may not have been pushed to your phone yet but fret not as the APK has already been uploaded for public downloading. No root required [Download]

Some people report troubles when installing an unofficial market, such as not being able to purchase apps. We saw this issue many times when people were downloading the unofficial market 3.1.1 back in the day. If you try it out, why not come back and share you results with the community in the comments below?
