As Android grows and the Play Store overfills with content, finding apps you might like becomes more daunting than it already is. Google knows this more than anyone, and since they’ve been outlining the groundwork for more content consumption (see Google Play gift cards), it’s only natural that they provide us more tools for app discovery.

Semi-good news for anyone living in Germany, Spain, or France. The Google Nexus 7 is now available to you via the Google Play Store and can be had for €199 for the 8GB model and €249 for the 16GB. This is slightly above U.S. pricing, which isn’t uncommon for the European market, but at least they will be able to enjoy a wealth of content and features, as well as Jelly Bean. Unfortunately, Google Music and Google Magazines is still unavailable.

It’s official! Google Play Gift Cards are ready to go. The first set of retailers expected to be stocking them in the upcoming weeks is as follows: Radio Shack, Target, and GameStop. We’re sure they’ll make their way to other retailers, but these three have earned official endorsement on the “About” page for Google Play Gift Cards.

I gotta say, the Google Play logo never looked so good. After it was discovered that Google Play gift cards were going to be in Android’s future, the only question to ask was, “when?” Well, it looks like it may be sooner than later thanks to a few pics Android Central was leaked. An anonymous tipster sent in a couple pictures of the soon to be sold $10 and $25 Google Play gift cards.

Boy, oh boy, what do we have here? Finally, Google is taking the Play Store to the next level by introducing Gift Card support. Android users have been waiting for this moment since they first opened the Android Market on their G1s. Lack of gift card support has been the Achilles heel of the Play Store and the main reason why Android has been unable to touch the App Store when it comes to paid content consumption. That’s all about to change thanks to a few hidden gems found within the updated Play Store apk.
