I have some friends that applied 4-5 months ago; after getting no response, they retried a little over a month ago, and supposedly got accepted in a few hours. Maybe they are not bothering to approximate a FIFO queue.

I applied two weeks ago and was accepted in a few hours. It took 3 days to activate my production quota after I emailed to request its activation. I am still testing a few more features before I fully launch the new version of my program but I have to say A2DM is really easy to use.
