Shopaholics, Google hasn't forgotten about you. Now you can flip through all of the latest catalogs from your favorite retailers straight from your iPad. Stores like Anthropologie, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Sephora and Williams-Sonoma have made their catalogs readily and virtually available for impulse shopping.
The Google Catalogs iPad app lets you peruse through the pages straight from your tablet device, as well as zoom in and learn more about an item, find specific products and whether or not they're available in nearby stores, and share products with friends. You can also easily purchase a product from the catalog with a single tap. Online window shoppers will especially appreciate the versatility of Google's new virtual catalogs, and the fact that they have another reason to stay home and avoid the mall.
