Google is reportedly rolling out an updated version of Android Market, 3.3.11, and it is expected to be available for download very soon. The updated Android Market app is said to have a number of new features and a simplified interface. Google has also added the long-awaited auto-update for all apps feature in the new version. The new feature automatically sets all the apps on auto update mode, without requiring user's direction to do so. The upgrade comes days after Google rolled an updated version of Android Market for devices, meant only for Android 2.2 Froyo and above operating systems.
