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…

LOL:

"Do not expose the device to water, moisture, or rap music."

Did you get confirmation that it was coming or did it just show up. I applied a few days ago and no confirmation yet..

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 missed that. Did it mention what the CR-48 hardware is anyway?

I applied yesterday (the day after the live launch event) from the Chrome OS page, and by that point they had a whole questionnaire to fill out about your internet habits and what software you typically use and stuff like that. Maybe the QR code mentioned earlier really was a shortcut of some sort.

Crossing my fingers for this one...
