If you haven't heard yet, Google Wave is awesome. How awesome? This awesome.

Okay, I gotta warn you that there's an hour+long video presentation, but some parts are really neat. Wouldn't Wave on Android be fun?

Edit: here's the video directly on Youtube...

If you find any interesting moments, tag 'em and I'll put 'em here ;p
 
Yo... I can't believe I actually watched most of that video. I like it.

Way back, I tried to write a similar distributed email-replacement service. Wave is like Google Docs with an API, federated across multiple servers. It's good stuff, especially if it'd be usable on our phones.

Btw, you can skip to the last 10 minutes or so to watch a delicious last-demo.
 
Wave is built to use HTML5 and will be browser only. Google has already said there won't be a stand-alone application for it. Since Android and iPhone (and, I think, the Pre) all use WebKit, once it's supported on one of those devices, it'll be supported for all of them.
 
Very interesting find... From what I have seen, it looks like it will be awhile before it is released but def a step (or bunch of steps) in the the right direction.
 
I'm afraid it is true, Google have said it will be browser access only, there will be no app (from them, maybe they will allow 3rd party development)
 
so i like how things are looking heres the engadget link

This is the way Google is taking the whole thing, if you read up on Chrome OS it is a really light weight linux OS, it will window a browser driver app interface, a bit like how Android is, but Google says dev's will be making apps to work in browser - Chrome OS is a major cloud hit, light hardware, light code, heavy connection. And I think Wave is going to play a great part in that. So all apps will work in chrome but also any other browser.

It is a great vision, they are changing the way we think about what is a OS, computer and app. I guess you are going to have heavy OS like Windows and Apple to do the gaming, video, music and other processor heavy tasks, but a almost instant dual boot then to do all that office, email and SNS stuff.
