Google Apps (and the included services such as mail, calendar, docs,
pages, etc.) is for teams or groups unified under a private domain
name.  Apps allows the group to name users to administer the service.
Can an individual do the same things with just a Google account?
Sure, only you can not use a private domain name.

I currently use Apps for curlynoodle.com, and I agree that it is an
excellent service for the price (free).  Do I really need a full Apps
account?  No, because I only have two user accounts  for myself and my
wife.
