At face value, Wave seems to have a lot of potential--A LOT--but it is fair to question whether this is going to end up as a real product, or whether Google is just trying to crowdsource development resources for their latest experiment. Google does have a reputation for bait-and-switch tactics when it comes to recruiting. SOMEONE needs to fix email, that's for sure. Wave is what Unified Communications should have been. Hopefully someone will write a Skype plug-in for Wave! I think it's important to remember this was launched at a developer event, and the speakers emphasized that it was an unfinished product.

There are plenty of google projects which haven't been abandoned and it's this spirit of invention which marks google out from its peers. As for the sales and marketing stuff - so what? plus the web has done a pretty good job of marketing google products without any involvement - google search did no marketing at all for the first 3 year or so I don't agree with this analysis.
