Google Play redesign might come soon, Google I/O?

Folks over at Droid-Life has gotten an alleged version of the Google Play Store, version 4.0, which brings a major UI overhaul.

Gone is the boxy-UI from the old version, and here comes all the bright colors and a massive dedication for Android’s Holo UI. Overall, it looks lighter and cleaner with similar feels to other Google apps like Google Now, YouTube and even things all the way down to Android’s messaging app.

The new Play interface fits perfectly with the other services of the company, so it seems very logical for the update to arrive. If you’re asking about the release of this update, well, it could silently slip into your phone unnoticed like the Google Settings app – or it could come this Google I/O – which is speculated to release a ton of things like Babble (a rumored messaging app that aims to unify Talk, Hangouts, Voice and the rest), the much-awaited Motorola X phone, and probably a new version of Android to release with a few Nexus devices.

Google’s been pretty active lately, since just recently they released their new service, Google Keep, they retired Google Reader, and who knows what’s next?

Google Keep is basically like Evernote but with Google spread out across it, so a Google account is required so Keep can sync your notes on your desktop and mobile devices. Below is a list of features:

• Keep track of your thoughts via notes, lists and photos
• Have voice notes transcribed automatically
• Use homescreen widgets to capture thoughts quickly
• Color-code your notes to help find them later
• Swipe to archive things you no longer need
• Turn a note into a checklist by adding checkboxes
• Use your notes from anywhere – they are safely stored in the cloud and available on the web at http://drive.google.com/keep

Google Keep is a handy service with a very clean interface. It has a Google Now feel to it with very organized colorful Post-Its.
