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-my-chrome-os-powered-cr-48....

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

Too bad. For example we got Ice T unboxing our game :)

That's the best unboxing I've ever seen, bar none. Ice T should unbox everything from now on.
also, you gotta love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference at the top, "DONT PANIC" :)
I don't get it.
Read the instruction card, you will notice that it contains not only all required information, but a lot of humor too.
I did, I just don't think thats funny.
Did you get confirmation that it was coming or did it just show up. I applied a few days ago and no confirmation yet..
No, I didn't get any confirmation email, it just showed up.
