I don't know how being 1st or 3rd world has anything to do with how much money a company from either "world" invests onto a company of the other "world". You'll find out there many countries that are considered "3rd world" where there is a lot of money circulating among a few individuals. Just saying.

Having said that, and liking what Jolla is doing, I appreciate the fact that they've got more cash, which can in turn be used wisely to get a good product out and potentially be successful, hence -eventually- getting a product to the rest of the world. I'm being optimistic, I know.
