While we wait for that, however, the Google Play redesign (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/16/play-store-material-design-leak/) leaked not too long ago is available for sideloading right now, as spotted by Droid Life (http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/09/download-google-play-verison-5-0-with-material-design/). With it, the "What's New" section's been moved back to the top of the store and you'll now be able to create device-specific profiles (like one for phones and another for tablets) for restoring a custom set of apps per gizmo-type. If you'd rather not wait your turn for the update from Mountain View, DL has the APK, whileAndroid Police (http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/10/09/breaking-google-play-store-update-5-0-31-adds-even-more-material-design-highlights-and-moves-whats-new-to-the-top-apk-download/) has a smattering of screenshots if you want an advance look of what you're getting into. If you haven't started a betting pool for when Android L will hit, now just might be the time.
