Anyone else sign up for the Razer Nabu Developer program?

I know Razer stated it's only iOS and Android but I was wondering if anyone signed up for their dev program. I did and if accepted I get to purchase a Nabu for $50.

Razer Nabu for Developers

Hey there! I signed up for these forums just to respond to you.

I did sign up as well and I have been wondering if any of the developer emails have gotten out yet, update in this thread if we find out if anyone (preferably us!) has received any updates from Razer?

Just did the exact same as you!

Had the automated "Your application has been received" email but nothing else.
It should hopefully be not much longer as the device is officially launching next month or so from what I've heard and they would need to give the developers time to do some work.

Yeah I find it odd they would announce the developer program when the razer nabu "will be available for sale worldwide in late Q1 2014."

I wonder how many other people have signed up, personally I don't think that many would be interested, seeing the big split of responses on the Nabu. However, it did win the People's Choice Award at CES, which means it's got quite some publicity.

Update:
Despite their website post, Razer CEO Min Liang Tan just posted on Facebook that "Developer units are at US$49 and will ship end of Q1 '14".

Well then... seems like we have an odd contradictory situation here on whether the dev units come out pre-Q1 implied by the website or at the end of Q1 according to the CEO.

I agree. Also, I tweeted Razer asking when the Nabu would be released to devs and their tweet back was "Soon enough. Q1 2014".

I want to, but no windows phone support=no buy. I mean, how would I use the nabu if it didn't work with WP?

I have a feeling the basic notifications will work. Also, I think the configuration for gestures could be done through PC. But honestly who knows. Maybe if enough people ask for WP support it will come.

i think i have a spare htc desire lying around somewhere. So if the Nabu has 0% compatibility with WP, i could probably use that.

Or just buy a cheap android to mess around with/test it?

Yeah, you're right.

I signed up as well to see if I can help bring a device to the WP ecosystem. I got a thanks, we'll be in touch type of reply.
