It's an interesting idea, and email could definitely use a replacement, since it's a pretty old system that hasn't been officially improved in quite awhile, and the way it's worked out isn't that great. For me, it's basically a way to communicate with friends and family in a simple text format, get obnoxious, politically-charged, over-formatted emails from my aunt, receive newsletters, and get the spam mail from my Gmail account. It'd be nice if someone came up with a feasible solution to email that would be more extendible, yet still easy to format and understand (perhaps more so than email is) for the average user.
Something like where you can do things more like a webpage (which you can do with email now, but support for HTML varies greatly between clients, Outlook being one of the worst, Mail being one of the best), but not requiring a normal person to have knowledge of HTML and CSS. Mail did this nicely with a template system starting with Mail version 3, but due to poor client support, it doesn't go through as nicely for other clients.
Anyways, I think there's some good ideas in Google Wave, but I'll need to check it out myself to see more features before I can really comment on it. From what I've seen so far, it looks more like Gmail with some new stuff, like email comments being separated, and collaborative-like features.

I've had itfor a couple weeks now. They just gave me ~20 more invites today which is nice so I can invite more friends. I've started replying to public waves, since most of my friends check Wave about once a week.
I think it's going to hit a point where it really takes off, almost like twitter...

I have an account but I don't really use it. It's quite boring as I don't know anyone that has it (and I can't invite people to solve that problem).
