I thought so too. The Cr-48 seems perfect for students and will work great with the apps in the Chrome Webstore. I am a student and teaching assistant and mentioned that in my pilot program application. I would love to try Chrome OS out for studying and teaching!
I'm an engineering student, 2nd semester. I've been using a 5 year old 7" netbook with Citrix receiver (matlab, maple 14, CS5, etc.) as my primary (and only) computer. It dual boots 7 and chrome os (hexxeh build). Plus, I have a $10 per month unlimited data plan. I used google wave for most of last semester's projects. Maybe you have seen them? :-p
I was disheartened to see that there was no student option the application. I submitted as developer since I made a few extensions. 500 users on one of them. :-P
I work at my friend's university. There they enforce rental of their laptops($1300 a year) and programs. I think it would be better if they could go Citrix + Chrome OS notebooks.
It's a public University and their contract with lenovo ends this year. I'll try talking to the IT department.
I am currently creating a application video for the pilot program, should I post it here?
Yea it would have been nice to have a student option. But I mentioned I was a student and that I would give detailed feedback so hopefully I get selected. My university uses Google Apps for Education and I have my own personal Google Apps account as well.
@Kevin it's pretty cool that you uni uses Google Apps. If you don't mind me asking, which university would that be?
I have been having this idea of Citrix + Chrome OS + internet deals for universities to deploy. What do you think? At the least, it could make a good... Well, I'll say once I actually get it done.
I forgot to mention. I registered as Flames.2.Ashes. I come from Torrance, California, btw.
A chrome notebook would, undoubtedly, be a perfect solution for students!
I am now a senior in electrical engineering, and keeping up with documents and workflows between school, home, and work has been an ordeal that has consumed an unnecessary amount of my time.
With a chrome notebook, I can do work at home and the same changes will be reflected across all the platforms on which I work. The cloud is amazing!
I have submitted a new application under education. I hope Google finds it interesting. I know that it's tough to find higher education applications to the pilot program during exam time.

Does the pilot program available for India ?
@Brad I know what you mean
@Siva Nope, hopefully Yahoo will give you something. :-P I jest.
I decided to forget about the application.
Here's a Chromercial instead:

I hope you people enjoy, there was nothing else to do after exams.

It's under Flames.2.Ashes
Thank you for sharing a nice article.
