MKB Reviews: Google+ for Android

Google’s new social network is upon us! Well – Some of us, anyway. Google+ takes a slightly different angle of approach at a social networking site than their previous attempts [Orkut, Wave, Buzz] and is rolling out now via invites to Gmail users. Not only is there a web-based app and a mobile web app; there is now a native Android Google+ App available in the market.

This app is incredibly stable and rock solid for just version 1.0.2. It’s available for Android 2.1 and up, and I even have it working on my CyanogenMod-driven OG Droid. It can only go up from here: Possibly Google Hangouts on devices with front-facing cameras? Maybe some deeper browser integration? We’ll see.

Long story short: This app is fantastic and delivers all the features on the web in a solid, fast package. Once you’re invited – downloading this app is a no-brainer. Highly recommended!

sweet!! Invite me Marques.. gkart2890@gmail.com 

This was a great walk through for the service. I'm very eager to give it a shot. Please send an invite to francisorphe@gmail.com.

Nice to see an early video review of things to come! If you have time to throw me an invite that would be awesome and appreciated, thanks! sukhs.rai@gmail.com

could i possibly get an invite also..i would really appreciate it.  tjaden1000@gmail.com

invitation plz, brunokamanzi@gmail.com

could i get an invite as well? :D duator2002 (at) gmail . com Please!

I'm a pretty avid Facebook user, even currently using RockMelt (the social networking browser based on Chromium). If Google+ gets integration with Chrome in the way Facebook is currently implemented in RockMelt, I'd love to use it. If anybody has any invites (and feels like sharing one with a social networking freak) feel free to send me one; sylvaron at gmail.

anyone with an invite send one plz... d.e.s.teamxp@gmail.com

Google + looks promising..never was a fan of FB so never created one,however googles concept is more intriguing. If u can view the email i used  to make this post that would be great as i dont feel inclined to post my email address in the comment section  Thnx in advance MKB  

Truly excited about the potential. I would love to get my hands on this app. If you get more invites I would love and appreciate an invite KittyKatt337atgmail. Thanks in advance!

Great review! I'd love an invite as well please! Suthrnflwr at. Gmail. Thanks!

Thanks for the possible opportunity for an invite!! Chip Chip30@gmail.com

Man, I need to get an invite already. Hopefully then, I can bring my friends and family in. It's only a matter of time...

Loved the Review. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this app. If you get more invites I would love a shot at it at bigrediggy[at]gmail[dot]com

This app should scare the crap out of Facebook.Once everyone can get it, it will explode. On mobile its crisp, has fast loading . It needs work, but most stable beta I've ever used.

Hi Marques, could you please send me an invite to "chkkumar[at]gmail[dot]com"  .. I'm so excited to check this app.. Thanks..Kiran

Thanks Marques for reviewing this Google+ for all of us out here. If it's possible, could you send me an invite to ericjmelendez@gmail.com I am extremely anxious to give this a shot and get rid of my facebook account... Thank you for your reviews I do follow your video reviews... Take care, Eric from Lake Worth, FL

You misstated what the Incoming stream does: that's posts from people who have included you in their circles, but whom you have not included in your own circles. In my experience, this is the "people who checked the followers of the major tech pundits and decided to spam all of them" stream.
