Audmac Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I applied on the 17Th a little late but I just came across the pilot program by accident. I am not a developer but I work for a company who pays me to evaluate and test out google products from the eyes of the average consumer and user. I mentioned this on my application and i hope that helps me, only issue is they require me to use Firefox so I wont be able to do my job on the cr-48 but I can still use it as a recreational computer. The tracking site isn't showing any new shipments since the 16th so either nothing new has shipped or they are not able to figure out or get any new reference numbers. I am hoping one is on it's way to me. It seems like they gave Developers the first shot, but it makes sense that they would want feedback from the average user since it seems that is who will be mostly using this OS because it doesn't do much.

Batra Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Knowing how UPS does shipping I think the ones that show as shipping on the 16th actually did not leave the building until the 17th. Normally the first day I see is when pickup request is sent to UPS.

nycmattw Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 They aren't going to ship out all 60k. They have to hold onto some to replace broken ones. Why would they do that? If someone breaks it then its broken.

Auroka Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 any one in the uk got one? The only way for someone in the UK to get one is to have someone from the US give it to them. Google is only handing them out in the US.

Southern Patriot Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i don't understand why a company like Google wouldn't be able to ship across the world, being one of the most known world wide companies. OK, since it seems that no one bothers to use any common sense (or even read what I have wrote in this thread at least two other times): Google partnered with Verizon for the 3G wireless service in these netbooks, which wouldn't work anywhere other than the US. Why would they bother shipping them somewhere that the user wouldn't be able to test one of the main features?

mistical Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 They also might be limiting their shipments to people who have good Verizon signal, since 3g will be a part of the test i bet. So they might check the verizon signal coverage on the addy you entertained before they take your application into consideration? Which i kinda hope not, because our home/shipping address isnt necessarily be where we will be using the netbook. I get ****ty signal out where i live, ha, always dropping calls on my droid. Doubtful, one of the reasons being because more than 10 shipments have already been returned and/or are in the process of being returned to the sender due to fake addresses/non existent/etc. So Google didn't even check any addresses before even shipping them.

xendrome Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Here is some info directly from Google on the requirements for "organizations" which I am assuming includes, Businesses, Education, Non-profit. "At this time, we are requiring that all pilot organizations have at least 100 users that live entirely on the web and could move to the Chrome notebooks." "We require that the users log in with their Google Apps credentials." "At present, the devices don't have any VPN capability. " "Organizations need to be piloting Google Apps or they need to be a Google Apps customer in order for the notebooks to work in their organization (user must log in using a Google Apps account)." Just some notes we got out of them from a source who was dealing directly with the Enterprise Project Manager, Cyrus Mistry Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/959472-official-cr-48-chromeos-laptop-shipment-tracking/page/37/#findComment-593518232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
