I have had a 3G Motorola XOOM on the 3GB/month contract since day one, and I requested a Google Music Beta invite within a couple hours of the site going live, yet I have received nothing.
This was all fine and dandy when I heard they were rolling them out to XOOM users because I figured, "Oh, I just wasn't in the first batch, they will roll keep rolling them out to XOOM users and I will get one." But now I've been reading on various websites that Joe Shmoe, who doesn't even own an android device is receiving invites, based on a seemingly random selection process.
This seems like a pretty BS way to go about things. Why not reward everyone that adopts your flagship honeycomb device before handing out invites to people who could own Blackberry's and use Mozilla Firefox. (no hate, but I personally use an Android phone and Google Chrome)
I was in this same situation a couple of years ago with Google Voice. I practically had to whore myself out on the internet to get an invite. Apparently requesting an invitation early and with several email accounts doesn't do crap for your odds when it comes to Googles invitation only betas.
I dunno, obviously all of this is just a pointless rant, but it just pisses me off that Google doesn't cater to it's loyal users when it launches it's invitation only betas.
Anyone else in the same boat? Any thoughts? :-!
