Google has released yet another update for its social network Google+ or Google Plus to support the Apple iPad tablet and iPod Touch. Previously, Google Plus App was usable only on iPhone devices running iOS 4.0 or higher. Despite the new update there is no iPad specific Google+ App.

The new Google Plus app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. To check the details visit here.

Google Plus has received a plethora of updates in the last month for both Android and iOS platforms. Obviously Android devices get the most exclusive features that may not work exactly the same on iOS devices due to the difference in platform.

However, the Google Plus App for iOS devices is only for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G so far.

With the new update rolled out, Google Plus App now supports iPod Touch and iPad as well. However, there are no special features for the iPad tablet to make the best of the bigger screen or even the front facing camera on iPad 2.

Probably a future update for Google Plus tablet might bring Hangout (group video chat) support.

Large numbers of users anticipate a faster, better and more robust mobile app for Google Plus on all mobile platforms besides Android and iOS. So far there is no hint or update on whether the Google Plus app will be available on Symbian, BlackBerry or Windows Phone platforms.

iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users need to have an iOS 4.0 or higher update on their devices in order to use the new Google Plus app that also brings Huddle settings and Aggregated Circle notifications. Let’s hope that after iOS 5 is released, Google Plus also supports notifications.

Research In Motion (RIM) is set to launch a new BlackBerry handset with QNX operating system, according to a website . This new handset, codenamed BlackBerry Colt, will be the part of the five new smartphones that RIM is supposed to launch in coming times.

Preliminary details of the BlackBerry Colt smartphone indicate that the device will run a single core Processor and will sport the new QNX operating system. This device is expected to be shown in the first quarter of 2012.

RIM acquired QNX Software Systems from Harman International last year. Earlier this year, RIM launched the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet powered by QNX operating system. The company also confirmed that in future QNX will replace the BlackBerry OS and that transition will take a while. This transition has been cited as the chief reason why PlayBook did not have any native email client.

The leaked image of the BlackBerry Colt shows a totally refreshed home screen which is entirely PlayBook style &#151 QNX probably. The display appears to be a touchscreen and slightly bigger than the usual BlackBerry devices. On the home screen lies the carousal of widgets that can be swiped on the either sides. At the bottom is another menu that shows four tabs &#151 All, Favorites, Media and Games. Each tab has a number of apps or shortcuts listed such as Photos, Music, Camera and App World.

This image might be yet another placeholder (dummy/mockup) image for the upcoming devices. RIM’s engineering team is said to be testing the prototype of the BlackBerry Colt with single core processor on it. The hardware specifications may change and we hope that the Colt gets better processor and at least a front facing camera for video call.
