We discussed this idea and turned it down in the end. The reasons were: * we tried it in EMEA and people weren't really excited about it, they didn't want to wait several minutes to get it loaded or they didn't have their own flash drives, * we would lose branding, * such machines are pretty expensive, * LATAM and APAC regions would have problems to get such a machines past customs and shipping would also be expensive.
