Exactly. But Google+ was a side-game for Google..

If FB turns to the new G+ we might soon profit from discount hardware!

Sorry for the late reply, but I suppose I need to elaborate more.

At least as I remember it, when Google+ launched I was in my second year of university studying Computer Science. I remember all of my fellow CS students were excited about it and sharing beta invites. Once Google+ became available to the general public, it quickly lost its appeal. Then Google forced it upon everyone and it never recovered.

That's not what Google said when it launched. They were restructuring all of their products around social networks...
