Google+ for Android Gets Revamped [PICS] (Mashable)

Google has launched a new version of Google+ for Android, complete with a new look, a new UI and support for Ice Cream Sandwich. Version 2.1 of the updated Android app provides a cleaner and more streamline version of the app that is consistent with the design changes implemented in Android 4.0. Notifications have been moved to the top right, the interface has been tightened and photos have been enhanced and enlarged. Even profile pictures have been enlarged to improve the user experience.

"We worked closely with the Android team as they developed Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich), so you'll see the same attention to beauty and simplicity in our new design," Google product manager Ben Eidelson explained in a Google+ post.

According to the release notes, Google+ for Android features improvements to battery life, navigation, performance and notifications. The app also includes a new UI for posting to Google+ and support for Google Apps.

Google+ for Android looks and feels sexier with the changes. We're hoping that the iPhone version gets the same facelift soon as well. Check out screenshots of the new app in the gallery above, and let us know what you think of it in the comments.
