What purpose would that serve. There are many that could send him one or for that matter he could buy one. Seems to me that not sending him one would be far worse for their rep. Just sayin'
If I send a Pre-Release Product to a Reviewer, should I have the Right to Ask for No Review and a Chance to Change Something if the Review is going to be Bad?
What Happens if I send something to a Reviewer and he Asks/Wants something Changed on my Product?
Should there Ever be the Appearance that the OEM and the Reviewer are Connected? ie: Free Hardware / Swag for reviews?
What Happens ( NOT SAYING THAT PHIL OR ANYONE ELSE DOES THIS ) if the Reviewer wants Hardware / Swag or even Cash for doing Good reviews? Or for Not Doing Bad Reviews?
Of course. An OEM Can't Stop ANYONE from reviewing their Products. I (the OEM) would just want a Clear Separation between my Company and Any Reviewer.
