Today it this morning’s major Chrome event, Google has just announced that Chrome OS… isn’t done. It still has work to do with camera drivers (for notebook USB ports), finishing Google Cloud Print, and more. But it wants to get it into early adopters’ hands, so it’s announcing a new Pilot Program. Google will be distributing a notebook called Cr-48.

Consumers will be able to apply for this, but Google isn’t giving it away to just anyway. On Facebook Fan Page, they ran a

promotion a couple days, announcing a sticker for a Chrome laptop, if you did that quiz, you get a notebook. If you go to youtube.com/googlechrome and make a video showing why you’re an ideal candidate for this, you’ll have a chance to snag a notebook. And everyone in the audience at today’s event getting one (everyone claps). And if you don’t fall into any of those buckets, you can go to Google.com/chromenotebook to apply.

Google will also be deploying this to some parter businesses, including American Airlines, Kraft, Virgin America, the Department of Defense and more.
