Looks interesting! I assume it is US only for now though? It is probably worth making that clear on the sign up page :). Good luck!

Seems that way from the signup form. :/

  I just wrote my German address. It didn't ask for a country and I assumed it was Germany only (/sarcasm) It's annoying when companies assume that the world starts and ends within the US.

    I wrote my UK address, and it took it. Will see what happens.

    Isn't it to do with getting various electronic / noise / whatever certifications though? FCC vs UL vs EU vs ...

    It's equally annoying that they can't only cater to the US without someone who isn't from the US getting annoyed about it. Why do they have to be international? What if they only want to serve US customers? It's not a crime or even bad.

      Probably that wasn't clear. I was annoyed because it didn't have any warnings on the signup form for being US-only. It made me waste time filling the form, only to see that there wasn't even a country selection. It's like assuming there's only one country. Of course you can cater to US only. But never forget that USA is not the only English-speaking country and English is a universal language. Combining these, many people may assume that you're doing international business if you don't say otherwise on your web page.

      So they should make it clear on the landing page, not just imply it by putting up a form without country field. It just reeks of US-centrism and ignoring that there are other countries out there.

Indeed, I was quite excited to be getting one of these, and then I see there's no country option on the US-centric sign up form. I'd happily pay shipping to get this in the UK, I've contacted them saying this, interesting to see what the response is.
