The device is not an offline device then?
Someone please answer it.
To me the device no longer can be considered as a offline device. They say that they will be releasing more information about it but just look at this reply[1] from /u/btchip (Ledger Co-Funder):
The device sends encrypted shards of your seed to different companies if you decide to use the service. You can of course still choose to backup it yourself.
If the user chooses or not to subscribe to this service is irrelevant to this problem. From the moment that the secure chip allows this connection to happen I can't continue to believe that my keys are safe anymore.
