I wish I could have one. I applied for it from Turkey. But as we all know this program is US only (for now). Looking forward for an extension of the program.

Mine just showed up while reading this post! I didn't get any confirmation email. I applied using the prompt on the "new page" tab (running dev channel build) during the live OS launch. It came in a UPS truck 9:40am CST. Sweet! EDIT: The box it came in was pretty cool, and they had fun writing the copy for their instructions card. I uploaded a scan of the instructions card to my site http://tdupree.com/2010/12/09/got…

I applied, but from a UK address. So I'm not expecting to get anything.

I understand that Google will only ship the device to a US-based address and cannot send this device to a P.O. Box or address outside of the US

From the TOS at the bottom of the application

Indeed, that's why I don't expect to get anything.

This is becoming suspiciously like a post-Singularity intelligence crop-dusting free advanced tech on remaining Primitive communities.

What's the hardware? The Techcrunch photo looks ugly :-P

According to the original announcement video stream, the CR-48 hardware is not the actual hardware. It's a test platform for beta testing the software.

I got one. I think that everyone that applied using the prompt on the dev channel build of Chrome got one. Can anyone refute this?
