I am so surprised and happy that I got picked by Google to test out there new Chrome laptop. I came home and found it on my front door wating for me from UPS overnight air! Hope I get to keep it after the program is done!

Yes I got an email from them on the 7th telling me about it and a link to go apply for one,so I did the same day and it just showed up on the 10th! I really didn't think I was gonna get one but I did! It's pretty cool.

It's pretty sweet and fast! I think it only has a 1.6 intel cpu in it but it don't need much to run it.

I really don't know about that cause it didn't come with any paper work about it or the program and the email didn't say anything like that. I'm guessing i'll get an email from them soon wanting to know what I think about it. I am already doing that on Facebook and Twitter so i'm not worried about it.

Nope, its optional if you want them to collect data or no. good luck to you
i've signed up lets see if any luck here
I registered for one. We will see whether I will get it. It will be complementing my Galaxy Tab now.
I want one too. For anyone who cares, I have found this forum on slickdeals.net, it's pretty interesting, 137 pages so far...
And also a Google CR-48 Tracker to see if there is one coming to a town near you...
I just checked that tracker with my zip code. Two were heading to my town but both were already delivered
I signed up on Thursday so I guess I missed out on the first wave.
Maybe third time's the charm?

Let's hope. I have seriously applied so many times. At max, five separate times under my own name, once under my alias name, and my mother. Let's hope the tracker reflects something tomorrow for my area.
And I know this netbook may be cheap and the specs may suck, but look, I want one of these just to feel like I actually won something (that isn't the lottery) for once. I feel like I deserve it, truly. I could provide decent feedback, and maybe contribute a great way to their developing OS. Plus, I love Google. I love Android, I own a Nexus One, soon to own a Nexus S, and I think that this book would be a nice addition to my Google collection, not to mention, I bet there will be awesome ways to connect between your Android device and the book... I apologize for the rant.

I get what you mean. I NEVER win any contests or anything. I really hope I get this though, and the fact that two people in my zip code got one overnight is pretty reassuring!
I would love to own a Chromebook as I don't have a laptop/netbook/any kind of advanced portable device like a smartphone. It would be really great to have a laptop for classes (I'm in college) but I can't afford it right now so Google could really make my Christmas! Plus I never wanted a full-on slow, annoying Win 7 netbook anyway--it just didn't seem ideal. My ideal portable device is pretty much exactly what the Cr-48 is!
I have high hopes, but I know there's a pretty good chance I won't get it.

So I come back from my very first day off from work in two weeks and find my thread closed? What gives?
I'm sorry, I do have a life outside of XDA. FYI, I'm an adult with a mortgage, two car payments, a wife, a 15 month old daughter, and a live-in mother-in-law. I've worked everyday for the past two weeks and because you guys haven't had any updates you close my thread?
I was planning on releasing the update I've been working on during the nights when I haven't come home and just passed out, which HAS the working power menu and battery mods not to mention testing throughout the past 3 days to make sure there were no bugs, but you know what, I think I'll just sit on it.
Thanks for nothing, maybe I'll see you over in the G2x forums in a month or so.

wow... really? so does that mean a mod just randomly closed it? lol. i sent one of my GS4Gs to Krylon360 today. UPS tracking # is 1Z0209FW0303104104. so keep going on this phone man... it's a great phone. just needs some dev love.
I thought that was a bit strange to of locked it as well, especially since there was no mob posting at the end explaining why it was locked. Maybe it was a mistake? Don't hold out on use because of a mistake, we love your work! I understand life gets stressful outside of xda, heck I figured you were close to releasing something new anyways based on the your steady flow of updates.
I hope to see your thread reopened and to continue seeing you around here until the 20th or so when you move on I'll probably follow in stride with you there too, but I got to get these 2 phones taken care of first unfortunately.
Damn shadowman....give em hell. I personally would like to thank you for your work. I hope you change your mind. Either way thanks.
hit up Mr. Clown to see why it was closed. I've been busy job hunting so haven't been keeping up on stuff.
I hope you reconsider not posting here too, Shadowman. No one here knows who closed your post or why they did. Obviously some mod screwed up. But please don't hold that against the entire community.
Your rom is excellent work and many of us are grateful for all of your efforts to jump start sgs4g development. So thank you! And yes--for what it's worth--I'm sure most of us are very patient here. I for one have life and job issues too--so I completely understand time away...

yeah man! I was wondering why the thread was close! considering this is the only custom rom we have! I've been doing support while you were gone and the next thing I know it was closed! this is a bummer!
I'm sure it was a mistake, I don't think they would close a thread for that reason? please don't give up on us, this is the only rom we have...
Sounds like we have mods trying to sabotage this phone too? what the heck man..
It's gotta be a mistake man, some mod just got confused or slipped up. There's no reason that thread should be locked. Take a deep breath, check back in a few hours, I'm sure it'll get cleared up.
Hey shadow.
Good to see it wasn't just you leaving. We all obviously appreciate what you do. I thought it was strange that the thread just closed. I am sure if you pm Mr.clown he will open it up. He was in here closing a few other threads that deserved to be closed. I bet yours was by accident.
Anyways, glad to see your still around.

Good news, but your a day late and a dollar short.

I already knew I'd get my Rogers ONE X before virtually everyone else in the country (Canada), as I was #2 on their list.
Finally, about an hour ago I got an email from Rogers confirming that the unit was shipped. I should have it tomorrow.

I need 5 testers to test this official stock Jelly Bean build based on the Asian Jelly Bean leak.
I am uploading it now, and it should take about an hour or so to complete.
What I need are the first 5 people that reply to this thread will be picked, if there are more replies, and someone is not able to right away, then I will get with the next people. This is a first come first picked type of a thing.
Now for the requirements:
1) You must have an AT&T branded phone.
2) You must use your phone is in the US (those outside the US will have more work to be done, and I can work with those later on).
3) You must be able to trouble shoot just a little bit, since I do not have my Atrix2 anymore and you will have to be my hands and eyes.
4) You also can not have an issue with having root on your phone (I know some prefer not to have root).
5) You must know how to use RSD lite and apply the proper fxz, in case anything goes wrong.
Ok, so with all that out of the way. Just reply here and say that you want to test this, and I will PM the people to test once the upload completes.
Sign me up!
I have AT&T running stock ICS rooted and ready to go.

No. This is a PURE motorola stock ROM, and as such has all the bloat and the GApps too.
No, no one is any cooler than the others... I PM'd you too... I just went with the first 5 people that replied in here, just like I said in the OP. That really is the ONLY fair way to do it. I also choose five because that happens to be the limit as to how many people you can PM at once in the same PM.
S'all good. I'll be checking the forums periodically to see if I'm needed. I've still got the Craptivate lying around if I manage to brick the A2. lol.
I am available for testing- I am rooted
In case I am not selected, which thread will receive updates on testing progress?
