Google Wave’s latest updated clean API and new extension abilities allow for faster development, more opportunities for integrations and lots of exciting potential for many new Google Wave use cases. We invite developers from around the world to showcase their latest extensions.

Over the next several weeks, Mashable and the Google Wave team will be showcasing and discussing the most interesting submissions.

There will be 3 voting categories: Most Fun, Most Useful and Best Use of the Embed API. We'll then pick a Judge's Choice as the overall winner.

The winning developer/development team will receive 2 unlocked Nexus Ones, see their extension featured on Mashable AND receive free passes to the Google I/O conference.

4 Step Submission Process

Step 1: Developers install the "Mashable submitty extension" from the public read-only wave

Step 2: After installing this, you'll get a "New Mashable Submission" in your new wave menu

Step 3: Just use our "Mashable Submitty" Google Extension and fill out the form.

Step 4: After approving valid entries, we'll create a public discussion wave with entries including a voting gadget.
