"And who besides us Google watchers know that “Google Play” is an app store anyway?"

I have a feeling that if you are buying the Nexus online, you know this.

If you are buying it in a store, the sales person's pitch includes showing you that Google Play is where you get movies, music and apps. (Similar to how you can on an Apple device with the App Store)

I believe (can't find a screencap) if you don't have a card set up for Play yet, it'll show a prompt asking you to add one (and explains Play) when you add your account. You also get this mail[0] explaining the same.

I'm referring to his remarks about Google Play on Android. It's Google Play on all new devices now, so if you are getting the Nexus, you are probably buying it from the Google Play store already and therefore know about it and what it is. If you are not getting the Nexus, and buying in a store, that's where you are typically told about Google Play as it's an important feature.
