The Gallery acquired quite a few nice editing features with ICS, so enhancing the already-robust suite would be a smart move. It was originally only available for iOS, but was later released for Android as well. More likely, though, is that the group will be put to work on stock Android apps, as this is much closer to what they've been working on so far. Snapseed is a powerful and easy-to-use mobile photo editor developed by Google. Given that Gundotra is making the announcement, it might be possible that the team is going to work on Google+. When Google purchased web-based editor Picnik, for example, the app ended up being built right into Google+. While there's no indication yet just which Google product will see the benefit of this new talent, it can only mean good news. Today, Vic Gundotra announced on Google+ that Nik Software, creators of the impressive Snapseed app that we saw demoed at CES this year, will be joining the Mountain View team.

It's almost become trite to hear that Google has bought another company that deals in photo editing software.
