NXist finally releasing their cf adapter?

Just got this:

Dear Sir,

This is Peter CHEN of NXiST. First, I want to apologize for the delay in launching NxDrive-CF which was originally intended to be introduced at end of April. We understand that many of you have been waiting for now months and have long been frustrated and even distrusted at whether NXiST would ever be able to deliver the product. We again apologize for this. We realized the importance of a stable product and have therefore delayed its introduction to ensure its quality. We are now really to launch it. But, just to be safe and certain, we decided to do a Beta testing first.

Please do reply and let us know if you are interested in beta testing the NxDrive-CF. Please note, for Beta testing, we will charge a reduced price of USD$ 29 for the module plus USD$ 10 for shipping and handling. The NxDrive is listed for USD$49.

If you are interested please do reply and I will send out a product specification sheet and a NDA for your review and please do discard this message if you have no interest. After the collection of your personal information, we will evaluate and reply to you as soon as we can. Thank you again for your time and kind consideration.

Thank you and regards,

Peter CHEN

Wait.. their charging you for a PRIVATE beta test?

I understand companies charging for public beta software (like OS X months ago), but the second that your required to sign an NDA, or anything like that, they should be having you do it for free. IT's your time and support that makes their product better. SHAME!
