YES GOOGLE WAVE COMING SOON …. or is OUT ALREADY?

Starting Wednesday, September 30 we’ll be sending out more than 100,000 invitations to preview Google Wave to:
* Developers who have been active in the developer preview we started back in June
* The first users who signed up and offered to give feedback on wave.google.com
* Select customers of Google Apps
We’ll ask some of these early users to nominate people they know also to receive early invitations — Google Wave is a lot more useful if your friends, family and colleagues have it too. This, of course, will just be the beginning. If all goes well we will soon be inviting many more to try out Google Wave.
Some of you have asked what we mean by preview. This just means that Google Wave isn’t quite ready for prime time. Not yet, anyway. Since first unveiling the project back in May, we’ve focused almost exclusively on scalability, stability, speed and usability. Yet, you will still experience the occasional downtime, a crash every now and then, part of the system being a bit sluggish and some of the user interface being, well, quirky.
