Thanks for this Simon. Very keen to get on the Andriod platform. Always cautious of Gen 1 products though. Will keep an eye out for replies.

FYI I feel a little giddy after watching you move around that much.

Thanks Trent, sorry about the giddiness! Maybe next time I'll move, but I'll keep the camera still.

Google Wave sounds really exciting and I think it's gutsy how Google have released early versions to developers, rather than "perfect" the product and release to the public.

In fact that's what Google does best - walk the talk of being in constant experimentation and co-creation with their massive customer base.

I'm looking forward to when Wave is released to the general public; I think it will change the way we think about communicating with each other.

Always enjoy your posts, Simon. Thanks.

What's your view on what's being discussed with Google Wave thus far?
