I'm sure the iPhone will have decent Google Wave apps but if Android handsets are released with strong integration throughout while Apple drag their heels, it would offer a new dimension to consider when comparing the two. If, as a Wave user, I knew that I could more easily access the enormous potential of the platform on Android phones, it could be a real deal breaker. I guess the big question is, how long until you average user switches to Wave? Will my Mum understand why she should sign up for something new just as she "upgraded" from hotmail to gmail or from IE to Firefox? Again, if we start to see ranges of lower budget (or free on contract) Android handsets appear and Wave is fundamentally built into them as an option, maybe this could lead market penetration as people started to realise the potential. Time will tell and I'm interested to watch this one play out. Could be an exciting new way of getting things out there that befits today's advanced and influential mobile platform. Thanks for the comments guys.

Why pay for a one to one text? All in all a very thought provoking blog. TX Agree with tomstandage but for sure text messages are very yesterday. Why pay for a one to one text?

And like Twitter, Wave will have open APIs. Google won't be able to tie Wave to Android unless it violates its policy of openness. And Wave will only be adopted widely if it's open.
