No luck here...some of the reviews were scathing which is unfortunate because its not a finished product. I wonder if that slowed down there enthusiasm for shipping them out.

I sure hope not
My entire life revolves around Google and I'd kill to have a shot at testing ChromeOS in it's native form. I still have my fingers crossed, here's hoping my karma is good right around now

I signed up once on the 16th and once on the 25th of Jan. Mid afternoon yesterday my door bell rang and there brown was in my driveway. I opened the door and there was this strange sized package sitting inside my storm door. Im posting on my new CR48 right now. Has nobody here received one?
Negative. I thought maybe re-registereding might make my application null, so I didn't re-apply.
Sure wish I could try one of these out.

Its just a single core 1.66? Atom. It seems to run the OS just fine... But if you like 12 tabs open it gets bogged down.
Bottem line is... Its free

Got mine yesterday. No notification or anything, just showed up.
Seems pretty cool so far, I really like the styling and hardware side of things (though I know that isn't the point of the thing) and the OS is intriguing. I keep wanting to minimize the browser to get to my desktop...but the browser is the desktop. Only played about an hour but when I went to submit bugs/suggestions it looked like they were already attacking my complaints/ideas to get them ironed out. Fun to be able to have a voice that gets heard.

What's the battery life like on it? Seems like it'd be a great little Netbook for taking notes on in class, and pretty much anything that's lightweight...
Looks really nice. I applied for it. Maybe i'm not too late.
