The improvements are in the Web-based Android Market today and coming to phones and tablets in the next few weeks.

We'll save you the trouble: Yes, Google Music is way better than Amazon's Cloud Player.
We got our Beta invite to the service last night, and were blown away by how easy it is to use. If you're already married to iTunes, Google Music will sync your library to your online account without you having to do anything.
And Android users no longer have to worry about taking up space on their phone with songs. Instead, you can stream your entire library. (If you aren't connected, your most recent songs are cached on the phone so you can listen offline.)
The only downside we found was the painfully slow upload time. If you have a massive library, be prepared for it to take days to sync up.
If you haven't done so yet, you can sign up for a Google Music Beta invite at music.google.com. You can also download the new Android app here. While you're waiting, check out our walkthrough of the service at the link below.

Our readers have had very strong feelings about the recent report that Android is blowing past iPhone in smartphone marketshare.
No matter what side you're on, there's no arguing Android is gaining traction, and it's growing app library proves it. While the Android Market is still smaller than Apple's App Store by tens of thousands of apps, there are still some excellent ones you won't find on iPhone.
Here's a list of the best exclusive Android apps that iPhone owners wish they could have.
Android is the only platform that allows you to stream music from your Amazon Cloud Drive directly to your phone or tablet. Get it free here.
Firefox 4's Android browser is just as impressive as the desktop version. You can sync tabs, bookmarks, and passwords with your PC. Plus you get great tabbed browsing and speedy load times. Get it free here.
Google Maps is great on the iPhone, but you still can't get true turn-by-turn directions. With the Android version of Google Maps, navigation is baked right in, turning your phone into a GPS unit without downloading any additional software. As a bonus, Google Maps will direct you to your destination via the quickest route based on traffic patterns.
