Cloud-based content streaming platform iSwifter has added Google+ game support to its iPad platform, the company revealed Thursday. iSwifter 4.1, available now, allows players to access Flash-based Google+ games, in addition to its previous Facebook games implementation. "Not only does bringing Google+ Games to iPads give users a larger library of social games to choose from, it also benefits developers because, regardless of which social network their users prefer, developers now have access immediately to a rapidly growing, new mobile distribution channel through iSwifter," said iSwifter co-founder Rajat Gupta in a statement. iSwifter launched just over a year ago as a cloud-based streaming service for iPad. Similar to OnLive or Gaikai, iSwifter streams the games over the cloud, bypassing the iPad's lack of Flash support. The company recently announced that it is expecting revenues in excess of $10 million for its first year on the market.
