Every time an announcement like this is made I get a bunch of angry messages from friends I've convinced to use Google Apps for their personal email who will have to wait an unspecified amount of time for the new features.
I really don't have a lot of sympathy for the cat-calls that surrounds Every Single Google Launch when it isn't on Apps straight away. Except if you'd been given weird information from someone who should know better, I suppose.
I would say Google probably should shoulder some of the responsibility for not dissuading the individual users it doesn't want to support with GApps from signing up.
PS: If Google wanted to gear it towards businesses, they should have named it Google Apps for Businesses. In general though, I'm sure that the free vs. paid accounts is probably a pretty good divider between business and personal use.
