I'm not sure your sarcasm makes sense. You can't host either Google Play or Chrome Store, but you can write your own and install apps from them. There are many other Android appstores around - most phone vendors and carries have one, many large enterprises have their own and there are a number of 3rd party ones. I don't think there are any other Chrome stores but I suspect that has more to do with the lack of use Chr…

You can't install a certificate to enable your Chrome to one-click install a user.js from apple.com or Mozilla.org, but you can install extensions from Google.com. That is not an open web.

I won't suggest any non-technical person to use the "open web" you guys want.

I took it as a way of making Google's involvement more clear; it's not immediately obvious "Android Market" is Google-related, where "Google Play Store" is.

That seems reasonable. But it explains "Google" more than "Play". (Why not "Google Market"?) I assume Google decided on "Play" over "Market" for other reasons.

I've been thinking more about this, and it's strange that Microsoft also rebranded their Windows Phone Marketplace to Windows Phone Store. Makes me wonder if focus groups don't like the word "market" for some reason. It's not commonly used in Americanized English, so I wouldn't be surprised if many people are confused by what Market is, in terms of a phone application.
