If you are one out of those hundreds and thousands who signed up for Google’s Chrome OS Cr-48 notebook Pilot Program, it’s high time that you give it up. Google’s vice president of product management, Sundar Pichai, tweeted out earlier this week in response to a customer, that Google has “shipped all units” of their CR-48 Chrome OS notebook “for now.”

“The Chrome operating system is a work in progress,” Google said when it launched the program in December. “We’re looking for the right users to try it out and tell us how we can make it better. Each participant in the Pilot program will receive a Cr-48 Chrome notebook; in return, we’ll expect you to use it regularly and send us detailed feedback.”
Chrome OS was first announced by Google in 2009 and is being called a light-weight, Chrome Web browser-based OS for netbooks. The OS boots up in just seconds and shares a similar interface to the Google Chrome Web browser currently found on computers.

The pilot program available in the United States only is for the first official Chrome OS-based device launched late last year, offering business users, end users, educational establishments, and developers the chance to try Google’s cloud-based operating system before its official launch on a free 12.1-inch netbook-style device.
Chrome OS was first announced by Google in 2009 and is packed with a full-size keyboard, integrated 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, a larger-than-usual trackpad, and an eight-hour battery life into the device. It is being called a light-weight, Chrome Web browser-based OS for netbooks.
