Google Chrome OS unveiled, released to open source community

Google Wave is a communication application currently being developed as an HTML 5 replacement for email and messaging service, combining the two in "wave" formats that provide real-time streams of information. Google Wave displays your Google Contacts next to a list of current Wave threads, or conversations in which your friends are participating. You can add new information to the wave, such as a comment, post, image, or video, and add new friends from your Contacts if you want them to be a part of the thread, too. If you are added to a thread, you can use a playback function to review how the wave began and what has happened in it so far. Those within the same wave edit and add text in real time, able to see the changes as they happen.

Google Wave also lets you share games, event invitations, and even maps (via Google Maps, of course). You will be able to collaborate on projects with coworkers, and there are also plans to allow you to embed waves in other places, such as on your blog. While the entire application is still in development, a version of it scheduled to be released to the piecemeal to interested members of the public beginning on September 30th, 2009.

The full 80-minute demo video from Google's I/O conference is embedded on the product details page.
