So that thing you want is out of stock on the Google Store? Bummer. I suppose you'll just have to refresh the page for days on end until it's available for order... or maybe not. Google is poised to add a waitlist feature to the Google Store, which we spotted by fiddling with the site's JavaScript. It's not live yet, but everything appears to be in place.

When Google enables it, you'll be able to join a waitlist for an out of stock item from the listing page. The page can also tell you if the waitlist is full and provide an option to leave the waitlist. When joining the waitlist, you'll see text reading, "You've joined the product waitlist. We'll send you an email at [email protected] when it's available."

This doesn't appear to work with products that are not yet released, just those that are out of stock. We expect Google to flip the switch on the waitlist features any time now.
