Android Market Update Adds PIN Protection For Purchases

Over the last month Google has made significant improvements to the Android Market app. Version 3.0 provides a much better user experience for discovering apps, and it adds the ability to buy books and rent movies directly from your device. Google is now rolling out an update to the Android Market app that adds an often requested feature, the ability to secure the app with a PIN.

Parents are probably the ones who need the PIN capability the most to prevent their children from accidentally buying games and running up their credit card bill.
