Hey guys,

I've been reading through the Google Wave announcements coming out of
Google I/O today. I see that it is built on GWT and uses HTML5. I was
wondering if there might be any chance of getting that HTML5 storage
library natively into GWT?

Anybody have any visibility into this?

Thanks!

The announcement does say it was built with GWT and HTML5

Interesting, a new major Google app that will only work on a few
browsers that are still in beta that have HTML5 support.

"The Google Wave product (available as a developer preview) is the web
application people will use to access and edit waves. It's an HTML 5
app, built on Google Web Toolkit. It includes a rich text editor and
other functions like desktop drag-and-drop (which, for example, lets
you drag a set of photos right into a wave). "

Yeah the browser support is currently limited, but I think that it
might be preferable to forcing people to download gears? Either way,
I'd imagine it degrades gracefully from HTML5 -> Gears -> Nada
depending on the browser. I'd really like to see this kind of support
in GWT.

Additionally, I read an article from Google I/O that the Gmail client
for iPhone/Android is written in GWT, which is also awesome.

Hay, maybe it will tip more people to stop using IE with any luck ;)

Might give Opera a bit of a boast actualy, seeing as they seem quite
ahead in the html5 support.
