Google+ for iOS: Now Available For iPad and iPod touch
Looking to use the official Google+ app on your iPad or iPod touch? There’s a Google+ update in the App Store waiting for your geeky fingers to download the app on your tablet or smart-mp3 player. While Google+ doesn’t have an iPad specific version (you’re looking forward to 2x mode), you can now use it on devices outside of the iPhone (or your Android smartphone).
Google is also giving you additional control for their huddle feature via the app, as well as aggregated circle add notifications, stability improvements, and bug fixes.
You can download the latest Google+ update here.

iPhone and iPad Dominate Smartphone and Tablet Choices for Small and Medium Businesses
The iPhone and iPad are leading the charge in small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) for smartphones and tablets according to Intermedia. In a study by Intermedia, who handles 350,000 premium hosted Microsoft Exchange servers, Apple’s iOS devices are dominating the stats when it comes to ActiveSync activations performed by the company. The iPhone has an overwhelming 57% coverage in this bracket and the iPad has 21% as well. That leaves only about 22% for competitors such as Motorola, HTC and others. The nearest competition to the iPad’s 21% is Motorola with only 9%. See above graphic for full stats.
The graph data compares the use of ActiveSync devices in Intermedia’s clientele. ActiveSync is the syncing protocol that smartphones use to sync email and other information with Microsoft Exchange. Intermedia supports email, contact and calendar syncing for smartphones, including iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows 7 phones.

Griffin IntelliCase for iPad 2 Intelligently Covers the Front and Back
We all love our Smart Covers for the iPad, but it only covers the front and not the exposed aluminum backing. What if we could have the best of both worlds: a smart cover that puts the iPad to sleep when we close it, and protective backing keeps the aluminum frame from getting scratched and dinged up? Griffin’s IntelliCase for the iPad 2 is an all-in-one case and cover wrap for the iPad 2 that provides the functionality of Apple’s Smart Cover via a three paneled cover, while covering the the back of the iPad 2 in a grippy finish that wraps around your iPad for full protection.
Instead of just having a cover that folds into a triangle, Griffin has implemented a tuck and fold solution that allows you to prop up the iPad for typing and watching video via a small pocket integrated onto the back of the polycarbonate case. If you want the functionality of the smart cover plus additional protection, I’d recommend giving Griffin’s IntelliCase for the iPad 2 a shot. It’s $59.99 through Griffin’s storefront, and available in black.

Twitter begins rolling out new HTML5 interface for iPads
It doesn’t matter if you’re using a native app or a web app if you want to use Twitter right? Right. So as long as you have options, an overhauled iPad interface can’t hurt. Twitter has already rolled out an updated HTML5 interface for phones (with a nifty tab bar on the top), and the new iPad interface follows suit. Heck, it even includes the dual panes you’re so used to on the desktop version of the app, showing your timeline on the left as single tweet views and miscellaneous information displayed on the right. The feature is rolling out as we speak (I don’t have the new goodies yet), but hopefully we can get some more screenshots soon for those waiting. The redesigned interface may take a week to reach your account, but don’t worry, you still have Twitter’s speedy native iPad app to hold you over.

iPad 2 Getting Retro iPWN Gameboy Case
This is not for the Apple purists, the ones that leave their devices raw and uncovered or only clothe them in Cupertino-issued skins. But for the rest of the world, most people want their Apple products to be as original as the people that buy them. We’ve seen cases/covers in the past that look like classic Nintendo gaming systems but this one supersizes the original Gameboy for the iPad 2.
Lootiful already carries a series of iPWN cases that snap on the back side of your iPhone to make it look like a Gameboy. The iPad 2 version looks just like the iPhone version, only larger. The case not only provides protection from bumps and scratches, but retains full access to your touchscreen and all the buttons.
There has been no word on availability for the iPad 2 case, but according to the Lootiful site, pre-orders will be open soon. Pricing has not been announced yet either, but the iPhone versions retail for only $18. I agree with the header graphic, “It’s friggin’ sweet.”
I can only imagine someone carrying their iPad 2 on the bus and sitting down while a curious onlooker snaps some blurry photos and posts them as “Apple + Nintendo Collaborating on New Project - iPadBoy!”
