This is good news. For geeks with their own domain for email the free apps accounts are great. The downside is that they are usually slow to rollout new services. Looking forward to trying G+
(I've been eagerly waiting for 2 years)
I think many more people have Google+ than realize it. I signed up first day, never got any email, and signing into GMail one day, I happened to look at the upper left corner of the black bar and there was You+. I clicked and had Google+.
Is this specifically for Google App customers? You're right I can get the same black bar and You+ in the upper left corner. But going any further results in "Google+ is in limited Field Trial, Keep me posted".

You're not wrong; I'm still eagerly awaiting a Google Reader account that uses my actual email, rather than dumping me out to the root Apps address! (I've been eagerly waiting for 2 years)
Good! Much better than blaming their paying Apps customers (in front of their users) for things they didn't implement: http://www.google.com/support/+/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answ...

(1) is okay if their users don't get the quickest rollout of new services, it's just a nice hosted email/calendar/docs solution. Users of (1) probably have personal GMail accounts they use for personal stuff, anyway.
(2) is confused whenever their me@mydomain.com email account doesn't act 100% like a regular GMail account.
Google has to cater to (1) because that's the whole point of Google Apps -- but that means that (2) gets slower rollouts of features that (1) might not appreciate. Perhaps if there were a different product, aimed toward the individual rather than the organization, this type of confusion could be avoided.
> their organization name was being used in lieu of > a circle when they tried to share something. I think there are two types of Google Apps users: (1) the Large Organization and (2) the Guy Who Wants Gmail At His Domain.

In the case of (1) the biggest issue I see is when people from an organization leave. It'll be interesting to see how Google handles that in Google+ for Apps users.
As an example, right now, when deleting a Google Apps account all of the user's shared docs, calendars, emails, etc. are deleted. I'm not sure if there's a way to preserve information or transition ownership easily.
For organizations like schools I could easily envision someone wanting to take their Google+ content with them once they graduate. For companies there's usually a mix of content that should be removed and preserved that's specific to that organization.
For my personal domain I do want Google Apps features to have parity with GMail. It's not that I don't understand the difference. It's that I don't want to split my information between multiple online identities.
