Google will let some users of its Apps suite test-drive in the fall its Wave collaboration and communication tool, the company said on Tuesday in an official blog.
Wave, announced in May, is currently available in a preview version to application developers because the product is still in an early stage.
Apps administrators interested in making Wave available to their end-users can sign up by filling out this online form. Google plans to make Wave available to all Apps users next year.
Wave generated a lot of buzz when it was first demoed in May at Google's I/O Conference for developers. It is a sort of Swiss army knife for communication and collaboration, consolidating in a single tool features from e-mail, instant messaging, blogging, wikis, multimedia management and document sharing.
As such, it will be interesting to see how it fits in Apps, since Wave could possibly overlap with individual components of that suite, like Gmail, Talk, Docs and Sites.
