[NTLK] Einstein, Android, new Hardware, old Hardware

There is another way - I am distributing Einstein for iOS using ad-hoc profiles, and I'm willing to use 30 of my allotted device counts for list members. All you have to do is get a list of other developers who would be willing to donate some of their allotted devices to more users. This gets around the AppStore issue completely, but each developer only gets 100 devices for testing so the load had to be distributed...
