01b_ipad-stream-landscape_large boxAnnounced at I/O last month, Google’s Google+ iPad app has just gone live in the Apple App Store.

Keep in mind that the iOS version is out before the Android version and with it comes a dynamic stream of Google+ content based on popularity. So, if your friend’s recent video is more popular than a picture of your dog, the video will trump the size of your photo. Sharing and commenting is a pinch with simple finger gestures to pinch and expand posts in your stream.
