Android Thoughts: Google Sneaks Similar/Related Tab Into Android Market

"When I went to the Android Market on my HTC Desire today to see what's new, I noticed that an additional tab called "Similar" had appeared next to the About and Comments tabs when viewing an app."

Well look at that. It appears that those code ninjas at Google managed to sneak yet another feature into Android Market without anyone noticing. *Poof!* This "Similar" tab is starting to show up an many Android 2.2 devices. Folks around the interwebs are reporting that if the tab isn't showing up for you yet that clearing the app data for Market will force it to show up. I found that simply clearing the app cache was enough to get it to show up. No need to blow away all the app data. One interesting thing to note, on my Nexus One the tab is actually called "Related". Regardless, it's nice to see yet another way to help us find really cool programs in the Android Market.
