Google Catalogs, launched an iPad app now has just one spin on futuristic catalogs purchase that takes traditional catalogs for things like clothes, jewelry, beauty and household goods, and adds a rich layer of interactivity, including articles on buying to let each vendor 's web site.
Google Catalogs features the most recent catalogs from retailers like Eddie Bauer, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Crate & Barrel, but every item in each photo is adorned with a small tag icon which, when tapped, reveals details about that product.
It's pretty much everything you might have imagined the "catalog of the future" to be about 20 years ago. You can flip through pages with the swipe of a finger, tapping items you're interested in as you go. If you want to purchase something, tap the button that says "Buy on Website" and the app will load the product page. If you're not ready to splurge, you can tap the heart icon to save it to your favorites.
Rather than just attacking the paradigms of the press, Google works remixable features of this web app, allowing consumers to the "photo-based, collages" of their favorite products, which can be arranged by theme, color, or any dealer other criteria you can imagine. These collages can be shared via email with someone. Stick to email a picture of the collage so don 't necessarily have to observe the Google app catalogs. Google Catalogs (via iTunes)
