14 DAY TRIAL // On Wednesday, Internet giant Google made available a new application in the Android Market, bringing the newly launched Google+ service to mobile phones, and it seems that the mobile client has already got its first update.
The new Google+ 1.0.2 comes with support for multiple Gmail accounts, and, the same as the initial flavor of the software, is available for download for all handsets running under Android 2.1 or newer versions of the operating system.
The release notes for the new app includes:
- Spiffy new profile icon on the menu screen - Handle multiple Gmail accounts on first sign in - Minor UI polish.
One thing that should be noted here is that the Google+ (Google Plus) service is still under development, and that it was not made available for everyone as of yet. People can join the service only by invite.
The mobile application will taste further enhancements as well, offering users the possibility to enjoy a better Google+ experience while on the go.
“Google+ for mobile makes sharing the right things with the right people a lot simpler. Huddle lets you send super-fast messages to the people you care about most,” Google explains.
“With your permission, Instant Upload automatically puts the photos and videos you take into a private album in the cloud, so you can share them anytime, from anywhere. And no matter where you are, the stream lets you stay in the loop about what your friends are sharing and where they’re checking in.”
For those out of the loop, we should note that Google+ was released as a new social sharing service, enabling users to easily share things only with specific people by organizing their contacts in circles.
The service also keeps them up to date with what is happening in certain circles, while also offering automatic updates features, and Huddle, a super-fast group messaging.
The new version of Google+ (Google Plus) application is available for download via the Android Market here.
