    Kevin Purdy (Lifehacker) is writing a book on Android along the exact same lines that Gina Trapani wrote her book on Google Wave you can get info about it from the twitter page http://twitter.com/completeandroid where they release tips and hints and will give a discount on the pdf, ebook and eventually printed book.

    Well worth a follow on twitter even if you dont plan on buying it.

    Wave is being dropped after [not because of] the book was written on it. I think it was just a poor joke.

    Wave is being dropped?

    I just logged into it there the other day to see if anything was new, it was a smashing idea just not really useful with everyone so comfortable and use to email.

    Well, development is halted, and I think they're going to close it in the next year or so. Oddly, they haven't sent anything around about it to customers. You'd imagine at the very least, there would be a Wave on it (:pac:), but I only saw it on a tech-news website

    Wave is not being furthered by Google it is mostly open source and novell and some others will be offering (probably still) there own server implementation of it.

    It is well worth the sub and I think it would be worth the few euro for the pdf/ebook especially with the discount.

    It is a good experiment anyway to see how Android sells in a market like this as Wave had the Buzz but was significantly smaller.
