Google Play hits 15bn app downloads

Reached the figure "weeks ago", but strangely decided not announce it.
On Sunday, The Independent said Google Play is on course to pass 15 billion app downloads, though Google told TechCrunch the milestone is old news.
In December, Google Play reached ten billion app downloads, which means the extra five billion downloads could have arrived within Q1, depending on Google's definition of "weeks".
Apple's App Store leads the market with 600,000 apps, while Google Play has around 500,000 apps, leaving BlackBerry App World behind on 70,000 and Windows Phone Marketplace on 50,000, a lot of which are porn-based.
Additionally, the Apple App Store hit 25 billion app downloads in March and awarded a $10,000 iTunes card to the person that hit the milestone.
