Google Wave on Android FTW?

[Moons]

Wave is built to use HTML5 and will be browser only.

Which is not true. HTML is for browser rendering only.

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)

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.
