In March, we launched Mashable’s Google Wave API Challenge, a month-long competition to create exciting new Google Wave extensions.
Today we’re highlighting the best submissions. Below is an embedded wave (it can be seen here too) with 15+ of our approved submissions. We encourage you to explore, rate and discuss extensions within the Waves directly!
Calling All Developers: you can submit a Wave extension until the deadline on April 9th. Winners receive 2 unlocked Nexus Ones, free passes to the Google I/O conference and get their extensions featured on Mashable (details below!).

Contest Details
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.
