That is fantastic news!
Now we just need to be able to sort "My Orders" by price, this is really getting on my nerves as I cant see if I have all my paid apps installed or not.

Especially taking your sig into consideration.

This is the new Easter egg in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Source
Google has a traditionally been incorporating an Easter egg inside every version of Android, that can be viewed by repeatedly tapping the Android version number within the Settings app. In Ice Cream Sandwich, you could find the Android Ice Cream Sandwich logo and if you touch and hold it, it would expand and eventually you’d see a Nyan Cat style animation of the logo.
In Android 4.1, you see a Jelly Bean with the tell-tale Android antennae on the top and if you press and hold the image, a large number of cel-shaded jelly beans appear on the screen and you can flick them around as much as you like. You can catch a video of this in action after the break.

Is there a way to add / remove for all devices in the new format?
I've got 7 Android devices on Play and it drives me dilly having to add an app one by one for each device.
Need a feature where the devices all update automatically with a new app. (Not going to mention my Apple Ecosystem does this automatically

Not as far as I can see, Only option would be to back up the apps to your PC and restore em to all the devices manually, maybe you shoud log a but report, and see if it can be added?
PS: what url do you use to add application to your Apple devices from the website? I never knew this existed.

Yes, you can easily do that.
Open https://play.google.com/store and just click on your device at the top, then the apps you want updated.
But somehow I think Jannie is out in force to show us all how superior his ifruit products and services are.
Just be warned folks, the ifruit methods will only work if you have already committed fraud and have a fake American address.

I think you missed the Apple part in my URL request
On the subject of Updates, I see the new currents is out. Pity they do not have Afrikaans under the translations section
That would so have rocked to be able to translated The Vrege or Gizmodo automatically, anyway I like what they did with it.

You know well there's no web site
Not sure why I would need one? I typically install my apps from whatever device I'm on. But that's not the question (and just for the record, I also think iTunes is about a decade due for a major rewrite, if this is your point.)My gripe with the Android Store is that I have multiple Android devices and (obviously) I would want an app I select to automatically appear on all my devices. On IOS I can install an app in any number of ways and it automatically replicate to my other iDevices.
Not so on the Android store. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

You could not be more wrong.
I've got more Android devices that iDevices and yet my current thinking is that Win7 and BB10 are ahead of both IOS and Android. Hardware wise, the Android phones outperform both those.
But that does not mean credit should not be given where due. And right now the Apple Ecosystem is the best around.
And before all you zealous fanboyz start reacting, I said the Ecosystem is the best. Not the OS or the hardware.

Talking ecosystem just saw this interesting article on the subject.

Yup, that's where this fight will be won or lost. The hardware and OS features (that get this forum so excited) are relative sideshows.
Apple's biggest worry now will be to bring iTunes into the new decade.

The interesting part is that G Play media can be consumed on iPad, iPhone, but not the other way around, I will need to get it onto my PC 1st before I can get it onto my Android devices for consumption.
Either way it still sucks that we have to hook & crook to get the dam media in SA. I wish they would fix this part.

To me Ecosystem is a fancy word for "a platform that allows me to sync all my devices with each other".
I don't care much about the rest, but it's cool to pick up my phone and the contacts are exactly as I have it on another phone.
To backup and restore any sms messages on any of my devices, I use a simple app called SMS Backup +. Bit slow, but it gets the job done.
For the rest, I like to just plug in my phone into my pc (or any other pc), drag and drop the music/pics/docs I want onto the phone/tablet and go.
So if the above mentioned activities places me in a certain "Ecosystem", so be it. I just call it simplicity.

No, it much more than that. It refers to the total and seamless integration of all your content, the management thereof, the creation and consumption thereof, etc. and incorporates all the devices, operating systems and platforms including the networking elements, processing systems, etc.
As an analogy that might be more relevant to this forum
Once you've configured Sickbeard, sabnzbd and XBMC and you run it on dedicated hardware with dedicated remote controls, you've constructed an Ecosystem where multiple different elements works transparently to give a seamless user experience.
