I have zero doubt the hardware will be free. Here's why:

a) They said it might cost only .40 to make. They'll make that back on one purchase. b) To be competitive, you have to give it away. If you sign up for a merchant account, most offer the hardware for free and those are big machines.

Fair points, I stand corrected. I didn't realize the manufacturing costs were so low.
