Android Market replaced with Google Play


The Android application store, Android Market, is changed. This online software store is no longer called Android Market, its new name is Google Play.

So, what was once Android Market is Google Play now, a new shop who should offer to customers new additional content such as movies, music or books.

"Google Play is a page for all of your favorite entertainment", people from Google said, "with over 450,000 applications, millions of songs and thousands of books and movies, Google play has something for everyone of you."


Everything you buy in this store with, for example, you Android phone, you will be able to read or see on the web at play.google.com, and that's the beauty of cloud, the company said.


Also, you can share your favorite entertainment on your Google +. For example, if you buy a song and share it with your friends on this network, they can listen to it for free.

I think this is the perfect moment for this replacement, as few days ago Apple announced that its App Store reached 25 billion downloads. So this move, unintentionally looks like an answer from Google to this Apple statement.
