So Google just released a new version of the Google+ app that has Hangout support. But how do I start a Hangout on my mobile phone?

It's a bummer but currently you can't. You can only join a hangout from the phone. From the Google+ help:
On Hangouts for mobile, you have the ability to:
- Join a hangout
You can't currently:
- Start a hangout
- Invite people to join a hangout
(The January 2012 update of the Google+ app changed this, however.)

That is actually not true. As of yesterday you can. Here are the instructions.
Make sure you have updated to the newest version of the G+ app. You should have version 2.3.1.242969 that came out yesterday.
From there you need to go to messenger and find the person you want to hangout with and send them a message. Once you send them a message you will see a hangout icon appear in the top right corner. See here for more information.

Great that they have now added this. I'll try to remove my answer. Commented Mar 2, 2012 at 6:16

But when I start a hangout on my phone, how do I access it from a desktop web browser? webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/24032/…– neu242Commented Apr 26, 2012 at 7:56
