But funny is when people expect Jolla, as company, port sailfishos for just 100EUR to a three year old AndroidHW and make it stable/fully working?

Now seriously? Do people realize how much time and resources it take to make an OS stable? Its not something that can be done in 8hours by one fully working engineer...

If you want it on a three year old HW i recomend you ask the android community for help instead. And maybe you get an alpha up running in some weeks.
With the proper driver support from hardware manufacturers that OS porting is not too much hassle for a team that has already a stable OS running.
They are supposed to be a little bit more resourceful than a 1 man hobby team reverse engineering software drivers.

My 2008 PC has plenty of choices of OS and hence feels like the best hardware investment ever, leaving me a gigantic budget for software compared to the 90's where we had to upgrade our hardware for 1000+ world currencies with every new software release.

The only reasons why technological marvels like a Galaxy Note that sport plenty of RAM will be retired and recycled too soon is because the built in obsolesce of only running Android.
Somebody needs to open up that sleeping hardware on a big scale.

There lies the future for Jolla.

Yes I am prepared to pay 100 world currency for that even more.

As for those hardware vendors that rely on free Android, sorry but we all knew that story was not going to last forever (pissing in your pants too cool down while stubbornly standing on a burning platform) Do we really have to feel sorry for Samsung? They will just go on and sell microwaves or x-ray machines or whatever they do.
