The current distribution model they have gives them (whoever 'them' is, I can't tell really) some advantage over companies like Individual Computers and others.
Because AFAIK I don't really have any warranty or the extended warranty of two years for my Vampire, that re-sellers have to give in Germany over products like this.
I don't think they have much work todo, yet, to repair defective boards or send replacements and the like.
Once they do that the development will slow down a bit I think.
And for the standalone or A1200, when the stuff gets more expensive, I think I won't buy if there is no warranty.

You get a two years warranty in Germany?
Nice, standard in the US is 90 days.
Really? So you buy a brand new MacBook Pro for $3000 and you have 90 days of warranty?

Decent manufacturers still offer a 1 year warranty (zip from resellers unless you pay for it).
For instance, a laptop from HP comes with a one year warranty.
Cheaper stuff, say a Sony Blu Ray player, yep, 90 days.
Accessories like Vampire, varies with the manufacturer.
That American freedom to be screwed over by corporations is really appealing! ;)
