Google shipped me a Cr-48 Chrome Notebook after I applied for the pilot program. The application asks a lot of questions and you can only choose one option, which made the choices hard. I will mostly use it home, so I picked that. But I will use it at work as well. I was very stoked to get it. I have drooled over my friends a few times. I am floored they accepted me. There are only a few thousand of these that have been shipped. I used my 140 letters to say I want to use it on the toilet and while blogging about working on pinball machines

It has an Atom 1.66 ghz processor, 16 GB SSD drive, ear phone jack, single USB, and a webcam. The chromium OS is basically the chrome browser with a few more options. Everything you do you do online using google applications and chrome extensions. So no loading photoshop on it, I will use pixlr, etc..

A free notebook with 2 years of free 100mb a month 3G from verizon. There has to be a catch right? I cannot sell it, and I have to give google feedback every now and then. The chromium OS is very beta and folks have had some issues. I hear they update it pretty often though.
