Google has released a brand new mobile app that I don't think anyone saw coming. It's called Catalogs, and you can find it as a free download on the App Store right now (or on the Android market, if you happen to be into that sort of thing). Basically, the company appears to have used its Google Books technology to scan and set up links on a number of different holiday shopping catalogs, so you can load up the app, flip through the virtual pages to find something you want, and then click away to buy it directly from your mobile tablet.
The links aren't built in to the app -- they more or less just open up an internal app brows
