Actually, they have 60,000 to give away

Just posted an article about it here: So, just how many CR-48's have been made? 60,000!

Good news! I'm registering for the Chrome OS forums now, thanks for keeping us updated over here on Droid Forums!

I just signed up. I cited my interest in Google's OSes and my being an active member of the Android community as a reason, told 'em I wanted to get familiar with Chrome as well. Not much you can say in 140 chars.

I have a gut feeling I'm going to be selected If not, well the OS sure looks appealing.

I applied too. I hope I get one because I have been seriously considering a tablet or netbook to bridge the gap between my phone and my laptop.

They sent me an invite for this yesterday. I to hope that I get one. I kinda thought it was a scam, but I guess not. Did the survey and all, hope we all get one. Would be the coolest thing to happen in tech in a while in my opinion.
