Yesterday Google’s Playstore hit a new mile stone when the app store hit the 25 billionth download. Showing that Google is not that far behind Apple’s app store, Apple hit their own milestone of 25 billion downs last year.
Apple’s App Store hit the same 25 billion milestone, with much fanfare,in March of this year.
Google Play now has 675,000 apps and games, which is remarkably similar to Apple’s recently announced milestone of 700,000 apps.
Google said earlier this month there have been about 500 million total activated Android devices, and Apple counted 400 million iOS devices sold as of June — a number that’s not standing still.
Google told us that to celebrate the 25 billion milestone it will be offering $0.25 featured apps and other discounts on movies, books, albums and magazines for the next five days.
