Google Wave is dead – Long live the web
Posted by BA on Aug 5, 2010 in Communication, Google, Google Wave, Internet | 1 comment
I’ve been using Google Wave for quite some time now but I admit, I couldn’t find many active users and the use was very limited. A communication and collaborative discussion tool without many users is useless. Google Wave has not seen a wide spread user adoption and due to the same reason, Google has decided to stop further development on Google Wave. The Wave site will be up till the end of the year but at the end of the day, the project is dead.
Web has seen so many interesting and exciting solutions that could not find a commercial success. Google Wave will always be remembered for being super-innovative and I’m sure we’ll see the same concept growing up in one or more of Google’s other products to make them even better.
I carry an LED TV in my pocket

Remember Samsung Wave I mentioned a couple of posts ago? The biggest wow factor of the phone is the AMOLED screen. It gives me the feel as if I’m carrying a full fledged LED TV in my pocket. With amazing video player and DivX capability, the phone plays great videos and the colors are so crisp.
The video recorder adds to the feeling as it’s a 720p HD video recorder too. You can even watch the videos you recorded if you don’t have any movies loaded up in the phone as yet. BTW, Samsung wave has started shipping in Europe already. You can simply google a store that can ship you that?
I’m pretty excited to know that Nokia N8 that is also launching in next couple of months will have an AMOLED screen as well.
