Is Google Wave the future of Unfied Communications?
Google Wave is an open platform and open set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that integrates multiple collaboration techniques into logical, flexible and powerful virtual shared conversations, or “waves.” You can “jump in” at any point in a wave's existence, play back parts you missed, and determine whether everyone or only certain people receive whatever you decide to share. Waves can feed blogs with minimal coding. Web sites can be wave-enabled with relative ease. You can access and participate in waves from mobile devices. Waves enable consolidated content collaboration and discussion – no need to choose between, for example, an e-mail thread and a wiki.

No yet, not for regulated industries (PCI and HIPAA, for example) and mission-critical business applications. Perhaps, in the future for these markets.
To me, it appears to be a great new foundation. It is finally a platform that integrates the collaboration modes that have been managed individually to this point (email, discussion, doc/picture libraries, blogs, etc). As it matures and addresses security, privacy, automated cleansing of communication, and searchability it will be a candidate for the future of unified communications.
