This looks really sweet, hopefully they succeed, but

>Device Warranty: 30 Days

that's not legal in the EU right? minimum is 1 year for businesses and 2 years for consumers?



> EU consumer rules cover goods and services that have been bought in the EU. However, if you buy from a non-EU online trader who has specifically targeted EU consumers you should also be covered by EU rules, but you may find it difficult to assert your rights with a trader who is based outside the EU.

IANAL, but it seems to me like PINE is not "specifically targeting EU consumers".

Nonetheless, such a short warranty period is rather embarrassing for a niche product sought for mainly by folks disappointed with mainstream products' profit-oriented fragile design and poor support cycle. Heck, it even has "postmarket" in its name :P
