Google+ comes to iPad

iPad and iPod Touch owners will now be able to access Google's latest social networking foray, Google+, from these devices, with the release of an upgrade to the Google+ for iOS app.

The upgrade is a feather in the cap for the fledgling network, with market leader Facebook still yet to release a native iPad application.

The number of Google+ users has risen to 25 million according to analysts comScore. Google+ has grown the quickest out of the social networks, but as a market latecomer the platform still has a lot of catching up to do.
