I decided to be brave and pull up my Google Play and iTunes purchase history.

iTunes purchases started from 20th June 2009. This was the time when I got an iPod Touch 2g for my birthday. It was also my first Apple device. Google Play purchases started from August 2008, although it was not called Google Play back then, and the early purchase transactions are in a mix of dollars, euros and British Pounds.I also have a US iTunes account. This is used to rent films way ahead of release in the UK and to watch some great American TV Shows. UK TV is dreadful with everything repeated so many times.

My Google Play total is £250. This includes a few music singles and albums, but no hardware is included. Purely media, music, films, apps and games.

My UK iTunes account for a year shorter period in duration, amounts to £832. But my US iTunes which is mainly TV shows and 10% films equates to a total of £1,500 approximately. It is approximate due to the conversion rate changing.

Just for the record, my Windows Phone market place apps and games total £32.

One thing I have noticed, is that the apps were generally a lot less on Google than Apple. Also, media content was easier to download and view on Apple devices. And this explains why developers seem happier to develop first on iOS, as iOS users spend more on content.

So what do you reckon you have spent on media?
