Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

It does not on n97 right ? Will n900 's browser be able to run it like Chrome can?

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

Well Google say you can (or will) run Wave in pretty much any browser... I don't see why not.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

I don't see a reason why Wave wouldn't work on the N97 (unless the JS is just much fun); and definitley shouldn't be an issue on the N900.

Now, if there's some browser-string detection going on, that's another case; but I've personnally heard nothing of that fact.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

Even if it doesn't (which i'm pretty sure it will, and there'll be a lot of other browsers like Fenec or Tear running on the n900 anyway), the GW protocol is open and anyone can build an app for it.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

This is just a guess....

It seems as though wave is using a persistant socket connection with their servers to handle real-time updates and a number of other features.

If this is true, and it is also true that it runs in nearly any browser, then all fingers point to Flash and AS3's socket API as the most convenient mechanism to get this done. Currently HTML5 defines 'websockets', but I'm not sure if any of the stable modern browser releases supporting this API, and even if they did, there are so many IE6 users out there, that websockets is not a realistic implementation choice.

It would be more realistic to create a wrapper API based upon websockets, and connect it to Flash. When websockets become more popular, or for the browsers that support them, the connect the wrapper to the native functionality.

Considering that the N900 uses a modern browser and has Flash support, I would bet that the N900 could handle google wave.

Again, this is only a guess, and one based on intuition. I could be, and have been on many occassions, dead wrong.

Thats why you need an extra plugin if you're using IE: http://smarterware.org/3380/google-w...ernet-explorer

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

i tried at the summit, and while Wave would load and you could click around, and type things as expected, the fancy scroll bar did not work (it would not scroll around the window).

It also "bogged down" the device (although that might be as it was a big Wave, and google has noted that big Wave's can cause excessive resource usage), as did many other Flash/Javascript heavy sites. Or more accuratley, with Flash or JS heavy sites i saw the "this site is not responding would you like to force quit" pop-up more often.
*NOTE* single user experience, performed over patchy WiFi, with late beta build, done by a user new to maemo! Also, the browser did not crash even if i said no to closing the window.

I put in three separate invite requests, haven't heard anything, but that was only a week ago.

Anyone get a confirmed invite yet? If so, how long did it take?

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

I got an invite from a friend (so i am "second wave" and don't have any to give out!), took 4-5 days.
Other people I know about took a few more days

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

Thanks! It's good to hear that it doesn't take that long.

I think my Google Voice invite took almost two months so I wasn't all too sure on what the wait for this was.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

i just submitted a request. ill report back later. 10/13/09

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

funny enough, Wave won't run in Internet Explorer, you need to install the Google Chrome frame.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

You know, I just recently switched over to gmail with my email account name the same as my name in real life and also provided them with all of my other email accounts.

For phone calls I use Google Voice, the same with sending my friends text messages, they also have my home phone number as well.

Oh, and if I want to search the web for anything crazy like Texas roadkill bondage, I use Google as my search engine while being logged in to gmail.

I'm sure they've got quite the profile on me by now. :(

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

someone sent me an invitation, the activation took a week i think

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

Would be interesting to see WebKit (with V8) performance on [such] resource hungry websites as Google Wave. That should increase performance, because latest WebKit (with V8) are faster than Gecko (with Tracemonkey).

IIRC it works with MSIE 7 and MSIE 8. Just not MSIE 6 and earlier.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

I also put in invitation several weeks ago but never go a respond from anyone in google. ymb, does your friend who invited you work for google?

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

better go get your wave accounts...

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

yea have seen this. But isnt the quality of the video really bad. What camera was he taking the vid with.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

hehe i so want an account right now :-P

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

You aren't the only one; I've wanted an account for a while now. But am slowly starting to realize that my mobile-heavy nature doesn't (yet) fit what Wave and I want to do

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

Thanks for the vid, but I hope you don't mind me saying that's one of the most badly filmed videos I've ever seen! :)

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

X61, no, he had registered during the first "developer" cycle, so got 10 invites to give out.

Re: YouTube video

I thought it was taken with N800 or N810 camera, but the reflection of a constant red light indicates that it was actually a full blown camera of some sort (??)

Preferably the camera and object are both stationary... and show some sort of interaction of the advertised content ;) (google wave)

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

new google wave video http://www.mobiledeveloper.tv/2009/1...g-google-wave/

also i recommend watch the guys earlier 2 videos about n900 quite awesome responses as its first time he used it

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

just a shame that he is absolutely clueless most of the time..

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

i'm sure most will be clueless first time they use something new.;)

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

i have noticed this so many times, the reviewers r exploring the device while making the video. Why cant they explore before and make an agenda of what they want to review. Many times the reviewer is confused of why the thing is not working.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?

there you go; youtube video google wave... Very impressive stuff =D

edit: same one as the above one... except this on youtube

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

I kinda liked the videos, as was said the videos were about first impressions, not a review-type. I liked a lot the way the device was presented. It was like a simulated unboxing for me, not boring basic review that we have all seen already dozens of times.

Re: Will Google Wave work in n900's browser?
 

the mobiledeveloper.tv one was really gud :), the earlier very low-res one was not at all gud
