Wow, the pilot program applications are significantly different depending on where you're coming from.

This is the form linked from the above site: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/cr48advanced/

And the form linked from within Chrome's new tab page: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/cr48basic/

Edit: Also amusing, one of the options for "Which program do you use to listen to music most often?" is "Dude with a guitar on the corner."

I think they may have messed up a bit on the pilot application; I applied using the long form, but it forced me into choosing a State (list of 50 USA states) even though I selected my country to Canada. I understand that they only want US residents right now (Verizon-tied), but as a web form it doesn't make any sense.

We'll see what happens. :)

I thought the same thing - and then read the fine print:

> 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.
