Kindle Fire app packages updated 27 February

Oops!  I thought I had posted a small update last week, but I just discovered it was still a draft.  So I now present you with a much larger-than-planned update to all app packages.  It includes a new app, but don't get too excited: Google Search is really no different (and possibly less useful) than the existing Amazon Search app on the Kindle Fire.  Most users can probably skip it, but some people might find reasons to use it.

Google Play Music updated, version 4.5.910I

Google recently updated their Play Music app to version 4.5.910I.560208.  There were some long overdue bug fixes and new features, most notably a Rewind button on the widget.  It is compatible with Android 2.2+ with transparency for all display types (MDPI, HDPI, XHDPI+).
