Google rolling out Pilot Program

[dinofan01]

well I applied. fingers crossed that I get one. It would be nice to take a computer to class rather then being over protective with my laptop now.

 

[Satangel]

Would really do this, but I live in Europe so I'm screwed

Damn, I would really put some effort in this, too bad....

 

[murkurie]

im pretty sure the test objects were already given out anyway

Nope, 60k at least they are sending, and from what I understand only about 3000 have been sent out,

I signed up for one.

I just sent my application. I hope I can get one. Does it matter if you do it today? Because since this program just opened today maybe I have a better chance of getting it then the people who are getting it tomorrow.

It was opened before this time yesterday. Anyway, I wish I lived in the US

Oh when will they send me an email about the confirmation how long do I have to wait? I really hope I get to get one what are my chances?

They don't send a Email, it's pure luck, if you search the internet you can find lists of city's that are getting them, but it's only till tomorrow's shipment

...based in the United States...

But.. but... CANADA IS RIGHT BESIDE THE USA!!!

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[LightyKD]

I signed up for one! I hope I get one. I always wanted to be in a project like this

 

[Joe88]

Is there a 100% garuantee that you will get the netbook?

no, as they said in "what would make you a good pilot user" they want specific details what separates you from hordes of other people

I signed up for one
being a computer science major might put me over the top...

 

[c_house]

Signed me and my dad up, he doesn't want it so I have double the chance of getting one

 

[Pyrmon]

I signed up for one. I know I live in Canada, but whatever. Besides, why is there a country selection box if it's only open to americans?

[Jakob95]

holy crap I put the wrong phone number by accident.

 

[takeshi10123]

I am out of luck because don't live in the USA.

 

[Jakob95]

Can you apply again if you put a different name?

Assuming you're using a google account (which they suggest) none of you under 18 are going to get one if you had your age as below 18 in your google account.

They say over 18 for legal reasons, and they're not going to risk that shit.

FUCK I forgot about that. How do I check how old i am in my Gmail account? I might have faked the age before. My YouTube account is linked to the Gmail account and for YouTube it says I am 17.

EDIT: Another thing if my Dad applies on the same computer I applied will it work?

UPS man came and went today. Dropped a package at my house that was NOT a cr-48.

Guess they don't like to send these even to big name Android developers.

Jakob: Chill, none of the stuff you said really matters, humans get to read these and they'll accept you if they want you to test. They won't check the ages of any of your accounts, the 18+ thing is purely liability.

 

[dinofan01]

I think Jakob is really excited for this.

 

[Jakob95]

I think Jakob is really excited for this.

I am because I don't have any good devices that I can use to browse the web in. The only thing I have is my desktop but its really limited because of my parents using it sometime. The only other way I can go on the web is either the PSP/DS/iPod Touch/my Android smartphone/Wii but they are all to slow or either uncomfortable. I want to be on the web more! Does UPS work on Saturday and Sunday? So like if Google Ships it out to me can I get it on Saturday or Sunday?

Also what are the chances of getting it if you live in New York City?

 

[Joe88]

UPS doesnt delivery on sat or sunday
it will most likely takes weeks to receive it (if you are even selected)

people made bots to submit to the program multiple times so now they are ip checking and invalidating any multiple submissions

If you want to track all the shipments and see if you will get one, someone made a flash program
