The Google+ app for the iPad is finally here. Aside from adding a bit of Flipboard-esque flash to surfing updates from your social network, the app also turns Google+ into a solid business tool with Hangouts–the Google+ video chat capability.

One of the crucial pieces missing for Google+ has been the lack of an iPad app. Sure, the iPhone app works–in a technical sense–on an iPad, but only in a small, iPhone-sized window or grainy, magnified version with an experience that didn’t take advantage of the display size or capabilities of the iPad.
