Google’s CR-48 apparently shipping again, doing the prototype death rattle

Reports are trickling in that Google has begun shipping the CR-48 to eager testers who’ve to date been empty-handed after signing up for the units back in December. Could it’s? Is the plucky prototype Chrome OS laptop getting a stay of execution after being declared all dried up back in March? That’s pretty unlikely, given the approaching release of the Samsung and Acer netbooks that we saw announced during Google I/O . It sort of feels much more plausible that the corporate is solely exhausting the provision, so while you signed up late last year and haven’t received one yet, we wouldn’t recommend holding your breath.

[Because of everyone who sent this in]
