Believe it or free gay male sex videos with cock suckingand cum swallowingnot, Google's Play Store is 10 years old today.
OK, not really. The original Android app store was actually launched as Android Market in August 2008, just a month after Apple introduced its App Store. But Google Play came to be as a combination of several other services, including Google Music and Google eBookstore.
The company rebranded all of the above into a single service called Google Play back in March 2012. For some reason, however (we asked why and will update this article when we hear back), Google is celebrating Google Play's birthday on July 25, making today the service's 10th anniversary. Weird, but alright.

To my eyes, it's not a particularly exciting change, but it's part of a recent design trend at Google (and some other internet companies) that aims to make everything as flat and simple as possible.

If you're unfamiliar with Play Points, they're a reward program in which you earn points when making purchases, with the ability to redeem them for certain in-app items or Google Play Credits, which in turn are used for renting movies or buying audiobooks.
