Well that didn't take long did it? Google officially announced the redesigned Google Play Store earlier, and the APK is already available to download for manual updating. All phones and tablets with Android 2.2 or higher will get the new update over-the-air, but unfortunately it will take roughly 3 weeks to hit every device. If you're like me, you're impatient and don't feel like waiting around, so all you have to do is grab the APK from the download link below and install it just like any other APK. In case you're not familiar, just make sure you have “unknown sources” checked under settings/security. Then from your phone/tablet, tap on the download link below, then tap Download (5.9MB) and it will save it to your phone/tablet. Tap on “com.android-vending-4.0.25.apk” in your notification panel, answer OK to replace system application, and tap Install. After it's installed, just tap open to start enjoying the new card-themed Play Store. Enjoy!!

Thanks to all that sent this in
Works just fine on Nexus 4 (4.2.2 / Argentina)
It’s working fine with my HTC DROID DNA 4.1.1. From Philippines!
I did notice one thing, I don’t see the Books or Movie categories on mine. :
I just installed it on my GSIII as well, I’m running a 4.2.2 ROM and it works fine so far! Now if I could get the GMail apk I’d be doing great! :)
Just installed and all good here. Nexus 7 4.2.2 Dirty rootbox
I have installed the APK to my Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 but all I’m getting is the Categories and nothing else. :/
I’m getting this too on my Nexus 4.
That’s interesting. We will have to see if this happens to anyone else. I tested it on a Galaxy S III and it worked fine with no issues.
Apparently it’s because Google hasn’t rolled it out completely yet to the UK so when it does the homepage should appear. Fingers crossed. :-)
In my N4 is not working properly :(
