That's a nice demo, beats a video that I have to sit through.

Also, I'm liking the features; it also adds a few points in the 'pro' column for Android phones when I decide on a replacement. (I currently have an iPhone, and while the web version of this stuff might still work, I'm guessing it'll be even neater on Android.)

Google advertises on their site a native iPhone (OS4) App as "very soon". But no native App for Blackberry, WebOS and Windows Phone. For that devices they list a web client.

If Google+ (plus.google? How to spell it?) is a success I am uneasy how much control Google is getting over the whole IT industry.

Reminds me of Prezi (prezi.com) which I've tried out in the past that provides this same effect for presentations.

Exactly what I thought.

When I saw some of the cool effects using Circles/Loops whatever it's called, I was excited, thinking they had done it in CSS3. But sadly, all Flash.

Happily, that's just a mockup. The real thing is HTML.

Indeed, I really love the use of Maps API.
