Today Google announced a new version of the Android Market via its Android Developers Blog, and it aims to ease the pain of navigating the current market. The layout is entirely different, as it's designed to highlight top apps and games and improve the user experience. The update will also bring the addition of Books and Movies to US handsets, and other "select countries" soon after.

Update: Why wait if you can download the new Market right now.

The entire experience looks to be streamlined, with a much more intuitive layout and quicker access to to what you're looking for.

If you haven't been to the web version of the Android Market today, I suggest you go take a look. Google has thrown in a few new features, like trending apps and top grossing apps from the past 30 days. Not only that, but the navigation is much more intuitive, as the top paid and top free apps have been revamped, along with the addition of top games in the sidebar. The new market also includes suggestions based on what others have installed and viewed, like we first saw yesterday.

Other new additions include an Editors' Choice column, which highlights some of the best apps and games in the market, with personalized recommendations coming sometime later this year.
