The lead time may be an issue ... since one would imagine that a new Jolla will have been announced some time prior to fulfilment and may already be available. It may be that it retains TOH compatibility, and it may be that Jolla have let Dirk know as much (though in my opinion this would likely result in another very compromised device) but I don't think there's any way that Jolla would announce that now.

Either way, good work and good luck Dirk et al. Will probably make a pledge, though won't go for TOHKBD (however much I pledge) as I can't see myself still using the Jolla in April of next year.
Hey people where on earth you get the idea that a new model is going to be available anytime soonish?
This is just wishful thinking IMHO, there has been no announcement whatsoever and AFAIK no work being done on updating the HW platform. And why should there be, the current HW is pretty neat and usable right now.

Maybe in a few years time, when there is something technologically new/exiting/useful available it would make sense to upgrade the HW platform.
With Jolla it is not about getting the newest HW, it is about getting the most exiting SW platform.

Besides, as I speculated in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=449 it well might be possible to adapt the TOHKBD to a new HW interface pretty easily/cheaply.
