Well, yes and no. Why couldn't they order units and flash whatever they want on them? That's what the Neo //is// about. Sure, it wouldn't be very considerate to close everything afterward, but it's certainly feasible, if only FIC could make as many phones as Google would order. Along those lines, if any other company was watching this developer release (and the many stumbles), they'd know to stay away from FIC until they had their supply chains and order process more robust and sustainable.
