Is it worth updating the Market to Google Play

[Sak01]

The reason I ask is because I'm still using the old Market (2.3.3) as the newer one was simply too sluggish on my Desire.

Have they fixed that issue with Google Play or is it nothing more than a rebranding?

Mine updated this morning. Looks as if its just a name change with a new icon. Haven't noticed anything else new yet.

Wasn't aware there was a new market.

They did release an update to the Market up to 3.4.4 which fixed the laggy issues. It was as smooth as the old green one. Mine updated to the new Play store earlier today, and it seems to be no different to the 3.4.4 version apart from the name and icon.

Mine updated too. Without market updater

I went ahead and updated it too. You're right, they fixed the lag.

I didn't think I would get it as I've removed the updater.

Got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=934858&d=1331072309 if anyone else is interested.

Theres an application called simi folder. You create folders with it and put apps in those folders

I had this too - I had both Market and Play shop links. A reboot later I have play shop only, but with Market Icon!?!

Simi Folder see the Play shop, but with the correct icon?!?
