#2It's not even available on the Play store yet, that or it isn't available for my modern top of the line device :(
EDIT: It's live now, it's a direct replacement for the talk app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

I assumed that they were rolling out an update to Google+ that will have hangouts as a component of it. They talked about it under the context of Google+ with the statement "adds another icon". They do rolling updates for things like that so I would expect to it sometime this evening.

Awesome! I wonder if those of us stuck in TouchWiz 4.1.x hell will see the updates, or if they're 4.2+ like other improvements I've been waiting on.

I don't think so. It gives this error "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." when you go here: http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/
Plus, they'd include it in the iOS Google+ app, too, if they did that for Android.
EDIT: It's working on Android now.

Hangouts is a separate app for both iOS and Android, not part of Google+

Not necessarily. A single Android app can have multiple launcher icons with multiple activity entry points. Not sure if that is true for iOS apps, or whether Apple would approve such a design.
Good catch on the URL, however the package name in the URL (com.google.android.talk) is actually for Google Talk, which is actually a part of....heck I don't even know -- it's just on newer devices as the base services.

You're correct. An iOS app has only a single icon and a single entry point. It makes total sense for Google to release this as a separate app.
Not to mention iOS has been through the "kitchen sink" app design phase before, and it's too soon to revisit it. "Kitchen sink" apps tend to have overly deep, cumbersome UIs.

It's showing up for me: http://i.imgur.com/8ngB1gK.png
The app page itself isn't loading right now, but that just looks like a temporary issue.

#10For those unable to find it in the iOS App Store: Search for a Google app (i.e. Google+) and click "Related". You'll find Hangouts in the See All list.
