yes - this is important. Does it end on Dec 31, 2008? or just the advertising? If it continues, has Amazon committed to continue their participation past Dec. 31? |

Does "globally" mean that Amazon will ship to any country? (Canada is a good first step :)
- Unfortunately, while they ship books to some 200 countries, delicate electronics with wireless are another matter. The initial rollout will be to US addresses only. 24.61.14.99
But what does "countries" mean
"first of a set of staggered rollouts in different countries."
Are we talking states of the US, or countries as defined by the UN? And which countries, when?
What about Canada?
Hardware differences
Are there any from 2007 G1G1?
When does it end?
When does it end? yes - this is important. Does it end on Dec 31, 2008? or just the advertising? If it continues, has Amazon committed to continue their participation past Dec. 31?

G1G1 Other Countries
What about 'Getting' laptops in other countries. There's numerous references to Canadians wanting to get in on the program. Assuming G1G1'09 is ramping up soon, is Canada going to be included this year? How about other nations?
