I actually was offered a free one by them, but because they would have given it as a 'gift' vs. an 'extended loan' I would have had to pay like $1k in taxes for it so I passed, knowing that I probably didn't have time to actually implement anything and that the market would be so small anyway (I had already tried one at a couple conferences).
