I don't like the name too much. I guess they didn't want to go with Google Market as that would seem more akin to Google Shopping or Google Wallet? I guess Google Play is the best thing you can think of. Adding 'digital' would seem to be kind of clunky (Google Digital Market).
iTunes has become a name that doesn't really encompass all that it offers. But that was a gradual occurrence. I wonder if they will change it at some point.
Usually, you re-brand something when it is not doing well. For instance, MobileMe.
buying anything from google will give them more data for more ads for you and your family. Just waiting for the day when the mailbox is filled with junk from vendors who collect data from Google...
as an end consumer, i would not buy anything from them
You dont buy anything from google. They sell you. Using an iphone you are using google search. Siri uses google. Your map program uses google. Heck this site uses google for ads.

Google does sell the data to other advertising firms. They are the advertising company. Maybe all those Viagra and birth control ads will go away.
This is necessary for them. I didn't even realize until pretty far into the game that many of the Google offshoots were even Google. Most people who own Android phones probably had no idea of the connection to Google until recently, if even then.
Based on past history, I'm surprised they didn't just name it Google iTunes.

Then you can feel good about them getting your personal info instead of worrying about when they will get it.
The best thing about the little guy is they treat you a lot better.

I give up.
Maybe you could give an example of being treated better (I'm assuming you mean Apple/iTunes vs. Google/google play ?

...so, no matter where I go on the interwebz I will be reminded that I once bought something like all the commercials I now see.
Do they have Google cards? Or are they still trying to copy that?
Copying gift cards?

Ads?
I really like that Google is moving towards a Windows Metro look. Very clean.
Too utilitarian graphics though... bad looking.

Mine uses Yahoo!
Siri uses google
In addition to other search engines.
