The tablet doesn't move fast for them, but not because they have open development or their code is open. It's just a lot of work. Openness doesn't hinder their progress.
LOL! You cant seriously compare Vivaldi project with Jolla!?

Not even the KDE team would do that. Vivaldi is a hobbyproject not a commercial project.

And as you may now already Vivaldi project had huge problem with find a company that did have fully open gfxdrivers and when they found one, that company changed SoC and they had to restart again.

And btw the SoC used in those projects is mediocre often undocumented and may very well disappear before users has got a chance buy those products.

However I do like the ideas with what KDE do, but first of KDE should choose some safe SoC like TI OMAP (used in Beagleboard) instead of some unnamed crap SoC because even if OMAP has closed driver its probadly better than undocumented copycats SoC:s.

But again this is not valid what Jolla is doing...
