Google has announced that they've launched the popular Places app for the iPhone. The app has been available for Android devices, but now it's also available for iOS devices.

Google Places with Hotpot allows users to locate restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, and service locations near them. The Hotpot feature adds a social component:

If you want to make things even tastier, just visit google.com/hotpot from your desktop computer. Here you can add friends to the mix and quickly rate all the places you already know. Once you’ve added friends, you’ll find your results seasoned not just with reviews from around the web and recommendations based on your own personal taste, but also with your friends’ opinions too.
