What you may not know is that Google Wave may not be useful now, because there aren't many applications fitted to it at the moment during its BETA stage, but eventually there will be more applications written for it.
Google are smart, they understand that apps are the future. Look at Apple, they have sold so many iPhones because of their ability to assimilate all of these useful applications into one versatile machine. The only thing Apple have that may be a little bit of a disadvantage is that they review their quality applications before they make it to their App Store, and this is where Google Wave comes in.
Not only will applications be written for Google Wave, but development and adaptability increases as everything is made open-source. Programmers will be able to develop apps that aren't just Apple-Only, they can develop tools for the internet, for the Windows and Apple operating systems respectively, therefore more will come out of open-source development for GW. You could argue that there won't be as tight quality control over the additions that will be made to Google Wave, but people will naturally find the best apps to use in conjunction with Google Wave anyway, so it does nothing but open possibilities.
The only thing bad about Google Wave is that great, they have had our excitement for an open-collaboration environment, but since they've released the beta, all they have done is continuously send out these Google Wave invites, as if there is something special. I've personally had Google Wave for a long while now, and there hasn't been ONE thing improved since I last got it, not even as much as a quick hotfix. They're losing interest by not doing anything about the development of their system, the people using Wave want to see something that brings them some form of satisfaction, and that's exactly what they're not doing now.
Hence, a lot of people just don't want to use Wave right now, it's stagnating in a puddle of uselessness. There's also the fact that HTML 5 hasn't rolled out yet so the features are more limited, not to mention it behaving damn slow in browsers.
