Google has announced its latest service, this time targeting the retail industry just in time for the holidays. Google Catalogs is an app that organizes your favorite look books, keeping them current and in one place. It enables you to curate product collages that can be shared (most likely on Google+) with your friends, family, and colleagues.

The Catalogs service collects content from over 125 brands spanning more than 400 digital catalog issues across categories such as men's and women's apparel, jewelry, gifts, gourmet food, toys, gadgets, sporting goods, and outdoor adventure gear. These brands include Nordstrom, Williams-Sonoma, Nike, and Sephora.

The app gives more reasons to spend your time shopping at the comfort of your home. Besides, why go through all the physical stores and end up being pushed, shoved, and even pepper-sprayed in the process?

The tablet application is now available for Android and even iPad.
