Google Play, the app store formerly known as the Android Market, expects to hit the 50 billion downloads milestone early in 2013. In March the company said it had had 13 billion downloads.
The Play Store now has 675,000 applications and games available, which is within distance of the 700,000 applications Apple claimed earlier this month. Apple does have the edge on media, however, stocking over 26 million songs, 190,000 TV episodes, and over 45,000 films.
