Random — By Monik on October 14, 2009 at 3:29 am



Google wave is pretty up with the buzz. One thing many did not notice was looking for an app for iPhone. No wonders people were busy for looking up invites instead of searching for apps and mobile support etc.

Here’s a Step By Step Tutorial to yours.

  1. Once you have a Google Wave invite Jump, Dance. Then go to wave.google.com on your iPhone. There you will be greeted with a message that Wave does not support your browser. Now you’ll know, Google is Lying.

  4. Then type in the name as whatever you think should be. In my case i took it as Google Wave. Then, select the image and i prefer selecting the image as the Google Wave logo.

  6. Now You might be thinking, isn’t this Safari which will be coming back? The Answer is no. It’s not. It will show the WebPage in Full Screen giving a app like appearance.

    Using the App, Full Screen!


     

Note : I just Found that people are having problems with the app due to it’s slow speed. I guess its not a prob with your Phone or Connection but Google Itself.

  • Cool find, Monik. There is a way to get the same (small screen) view in Safari on the desktop, by just setting the User Agent (Develop menu) to Mobile Safari 3.0. Google will detect the user agent and present a view accordingly.
