Worse yet, on my iPhone 3G I can't get the code from the Authenticator app and then log on to the Google+ app before it expires... it's just too slow :/

What are the advantages of using this app? It seems like a lot of overhead for recieving information that can be sent in a text message.

No text message costs, I'd think. And I've had text messages take several minutes to arrive, websites rarely run that slowly.

For myself: I've got an iPod. No text messages there (I have Voice, but not everyone does).

If you have an iPhone, isn't it required to subscribe to an unlimited SMS plan?

No: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC603LL/A?mco=MjI4NTM2NTM

And, previously, not after the contract runs out.
