We already know an update for the Android Market could be coming this week, but we now know some of the new features being added thanks to some changes in the Developer Console. Starting today when a developer logs in and goes to their app details page, several new options are listed including a high resolution app icon (512 x512), a feature graphic (1024 x 500), and the ability to add a YouTube link for a promotional video.

Video previews are something we have been wanting for a long time and some app showcases like Open Feint have already implemented them, so we are glad Google finally added this simple option.

As for the high-resolution app icons and and feature graphic, we believe these will be used in the browser-based version of the Android Market that was first shown off this summer at Google I/O.

It’s possible we might not see these new features till Google rolls out Android 2.3 in a few weeks, but they do have the ability to update the Market client separate from the OS so maybe some of these options like video previews will go live this week.

What do you think Google will use the promotional graphics for?

New Android Market features coming soon.
