I finally received my invite, only to find out I need an iPhone to use the service. I won't give up my lovely galaxy nexus!

I do understand it's hard to develop these things, and for multiple platforms.

I believe you don't need an iPhone and you can call them to set up an account if you don't have one.

This is not the case. I've tried and they absolutely will not sign you up unless you have an iOS device, even if you don't intend to use mobile features. Very frustrating, since I too waited a year for an invite.
