[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

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.

UPS stopped in front of my duplex and i went out and nothing was not for me they was looking for nothing address right close to mine a few ft or more. i just wish that tracker was more accurate cause siad 1 being shipped to my address today but no well this stinks cause it been perfect to teach my father how to use the Web finally. tho i am hopeful maby more will come

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?

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.

well with the tracker justa few moments ago i got this message

Weird. There's one going to my zip that's been delayed 2 days now (original ETA was 12/20 and it's been pushed back each day), but it doesn't show any sort of error like that one.

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

One is actually coming to my town (right zip and everything) and is going to arrive today. I don't want to get my hopes up but thats kinda hard......with my luck I have no doubt there will be no box on my door when I get home....

I too live in Molalla and applied, do you know for certain this is for your address? did you see the address when you could still track? It would be nice to know so I can stop obsessing!

thanks

Well all i know is it would benefit me very much as my father and i are low income and i live with him because his health is not that great and this would end up being great way to start him out doing the internet . so i am hoping that i will be getting one

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
