It’s Official. Google Wave to Get Its Own App Store (with potentially more than just apps)

While I wasnt 100% sure when I first wrote about Google Wave. I saw the potential Wave had and its ability to be one of the next big players to incorporate an App Economy and look what we find out, Wave will now have its own App Store. While most of us were aware of the Wave API and the potential for developers to build and charge for their applications, Google’s intentions to build a app store was not so concrete. With an app store specifically for Google Wave however, the potential for something as great, if not greater then than the iPhone App Store is a distinct possibility. Already, independent software developers have built and tested Wave applications that handle such tasks as teleconferencing, videoconferencing, and multiplayer gaming, but while the Apple App Store sells software only for the iPhone and Touch, a Wave marketplace could stock in-Wave applications, along with desktop applications, browser extensions and a world of devices, from laptops, phones, tablets and more with built in Wave support.
