If like me (23narchy@googlewave.com) you've just been invited to try out Google Wave, you may be feeling a little confused.

If so, why not have a look at The Complete Guide to Google Wave by Gina Trapani with Adam Pash?

Described as a comprehensive user manual for the application, it takes you through the basics of Google Wave, setting up your account before going into more advanced Wave topics such as Wave Gadgets, Wave Bots and, just as importantly, what Wave can't do.

The authors state that the guide is a work in progress and will be updated as additional changes to the feature set of Wave are implemented.

 

The desktop version of Waveboard for Mac, although in a very early stage, is already available for download. Official info on the app is very scarce, but some users have tried it out and called it “simple and practical”.

The same developer is currently waiting for Apple’s approval of a Google Wave (

) client for the iPhone under the same name. You can already run Wave on your iPhone by simply accessing wave.google.com/wave from your iPhone, with mixed results (works a bit better on Nokia N900), but we expect the app to make the entire experience far smoother.

All you Mac users out there, please let us know how you like the application in the comments.
