It is being reported that recommendations for magazines have appeared on the Play Store in the UK. Until now, we had no idea when Google would be introducing their magazine offering anywhere other than the US. With this evidence in place however, it is possible that.....

Google has now added a new app to their play line. It is called Google Play Magazines. Now that Google has added a magazine purchase and subscription service to the play store it only makes sense that they add an app to manage magazines and subscriptions. If you are interested in purchasing magazines from Google then you can get the app through the play store or grab the apk (pulled from the Jellybean GSM Galaxy Nexus dump) from the following link.
Google Play Magazines
Installed the app on Motorola Defy MB525, CM7.2. It works.
However, content is not available. After login Google Play says [translation]:
"Regretfully, the Google Play Magazines are not available in your country.
We work to provide your favourite content as soon as possible.
Please, check again soon."

Reports indicate that its not interactive like apples versions. For the top mags at least.
I swear that's BS... I mean that actually have to change a few things and it would be suitable for android. Though the aspect ratios aren't the same.
It's not the same as Newsstand as all of the apps in apples newsstand are provided by third parties, with some providing a better experience than others. With Google Magazines, the whole experience is provided by Google, third party developers are not required as it is Google with the relationship with the publishers.
Nice...
Has anyone tried to purchase TV episodes through the Google Play store or through the Play TV & Movies app? I noticed that when I search for TV episodes in the play store on my One X, no TV shows are returned in the search results. I also noticed that if I select a "featured" TV show through the Play TV & Movies app, there is no option to purchase a TV show episode. I contacted Google Play support about this and I have an open ticket, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this issue on an AT&T HTC One X?

have you installed the play store apk that came from jellybean? You need that.
Thanks, I didn't realize that I need Jellybean(or components thereof) to purchase a TV episode from the Play Store though. I'm not sure how that makes sense for Google to cripple the ICS version of the Play Store. Google is saying that anyone who doesn't have Jellybean can't purchase TV show episodes?

I read magazine using Google Play Magazines, which now has been replaced with Newsstand.
The thing is, I don't use Newsstand to read news. Unfortunately, Newsstand is a big bloatware. It runs in the background all the time and download stuff, even though I disable that feature.
So can anyone provide me with the original apk for Google Play Magazine?

I've found an old version: http://www.mediafire.com/?iy923q1amq36q7x (June, 2012)
I'm interested in the Huawei Watch 2 Sport, but reading reviews and comments I found this one:
"BEWARE! International users that do not have access to Google Play Music shall avoid this watch (and all other Android Wear 2.0 devices) at all cost if you want to play music on the watch. This is because to load music onto the watch, you will need access to Play Music which is region locked."
Can anyone confirm this? The main usage for me would be running, so I need GPS + Play Music.
I will buy it on USA and use it abroad.
Why you have no access to google play music?
