Strangely enough, I can tell right away that this is unlikely to be true, just because the code works OK in one physical device, regardless of how many copies of that device are manufactured, doesn't make it suitable for inclusion in millions of other different devices, the code needs to work for a wide range of devices and usage, not just one.
