[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking

[The Laughing Man]

I give up, good luck to those who receive them.

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.

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.

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.

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

[Quick Shot]

another one shipped to some other lucky ****** in my town again...google I hate you..(unless you ship me a laptop) :blush:

[notuptome2004]

what really stupid and sucks is that they did not send anyone none of us a notification to let us know if we are to get one or not how the hek could they let that slip

[XCalvin]

any one in the uk got one?

[xendrome]

any one in the uk got one?

US Only, Sorry.

[Auroka]

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.

[XCalvin]

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.

[Wanderermy]

I have no get mine yet. Very disappointed . I think I going to give up.

[XCalvin]

we will probably see it get blended on youtube soon :angry:

P.S dont suppose anyone would send me one in the uk (lol)

i gave up on getting one myself but my g/f ended up getting one i told her keep it

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?

[Tech085]

I hoping everyday that UPS drops me off one I sign up on the 8th Wednesday and still notthing, My town isn't even in the tracker :( I feel left out not sure if I will get one lol

[mistical]

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.

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

[KarbonKopy]

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
