According to this, there is an iPhone AND Android version.

I'm still back here in the dark ages avoiding Twitter - but I know I can count on you eggheads here to pave the trail for Johnny-Come-Latelies like me.

I couldn't watch the whole 2 1/2 hr video. But what I saw sounds interesting.

I couldn't make it through the whole thing either, but I'm very intrigued. I'm not sure if it will replace everything, but it should.

Yes, it's like vBulletin in some ways. It's vBulletin-To-Go. Every email can act like a message board, a wiki, an i.m., and if importing/exporting things from and to the wave, and the wave itself to and from anywhere turns out to be as easy as they intend ... then, say it with me now, this will be the Wave of the Future!

I searched the LoT for "Google Wave" before posting

Usually the things I post don't really have a title and whatever I search for has already been posted, but as something else!

I read that Google is putting all its might behind this one, and that this is their attempt to truly take over, as it would involve everything we do on our computers, all the time.

Kinda freaky.

I guess it smacks of monopolization, but it just seems Spockian logical to combine the various modes of internet communication into one form that can be used for any of them.

Could this spell the end of .... the LoT?!?

No, but we could add a wave to a thread supposedly!

It's open source so it's an open system. Google isn't hosting everything either. You can install Wave on your own server and run your own Wave system. Your users can also interact with Wave users on other servers just like if they were native to your server.

Interesting note: This was invented by the people who created Google Maps!
