At Google I/O last month, Google teased us with news of an upcoming update to the mobile Google+ application that included support for tablets like the iPad and those of the Android kind. Today, Google has pushed out an update for Google+ to the iOS App Store that includes the following new features:
- Full iPad support
- Google+ Events
- Attach Instant Upload photos to posts
- Start and join hangouts
With the news of Apple removing support for Google Maps in the upcoming iOS 6 update in favor of its own mapping solution, speculation has been churning in certain circles that the Apple+Google partnership may be on its way out. Perhaps they’re both still sitting pretty seeing the Google+ iOS app provide full support for its most favored features, like Hangouts, on the iPad.
Whatever the situation, the end user ends up on the winning end on this one.
