Yes, it's clear their business model expected revenues from the
long-term monthly charge, and once their hardware has been
"slashdotted" they'll change their policies. For that matter,
until you have the unit in your hot little hands, they could
still change their policy and simply refund your deposit.

Meanwhile, this discussion is no more relevant than if you
were discussing squeezing a PDP emulator into the RAM or HD
of a $50 486 laptop: the PDP part is on-topic, the laptop isn't. :-)
