I'm sure they made money, but not much more than if the kickstarter had never existed.

The kickstarter money was for much more then pre-orders. Their original projected goal had to include cost of the devices sure... but also R&D, development, salaries for all the employees and overhead. And I am sure they left a cushion as well... my point is after the goal amount all of those expenditures they factored in was just gravy after that. Not hard to figure out once you think of it and do the math.

That is all good to say "potentially could offer"... my point is the same one you made just now (as of now it does not).
