Google is about to change the face of the email inbox with their new product, Wave.

Google Wave is a new model for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year.

Wave is a web-based application that merges multiple forms of communication and collaboration, including chat, mail and wikis, into a unified interface. Everything inside Wave happens in real time, and you can even see a comment being made as the person is typing it, character-by-character.

You’ll be able communicate and work with others with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
