Android apps almost even with Apple apps in number

At last week’s iPad mini event, Apple announced that software developers have collectively made over $6.5 billion through its App Store, with more than 35 billion downloads of 700,000+ available apps.

Less than a week later, Google has revealed that it’s nipping at its rival’s heels with 675,000 apps and games in the Google Play Store and 25 billion downloads to date (a number Apple hit just six months ago). Well over half of those downloads occurred in the last year alone.
