As far as we know the whole Tablet / 2.0 thing was cobbled together in well under 2 months (more like 5-6 weeks) and then launched on Indiegogo .. nothing about it was well planned, and nothing since suggests that it became well planned.

The hardware is a reference platform that's almost indistinguishable from similar tablets (like the Nokia one). Differences are cosmetic. They're not creating their own platform, and 99% of components won't have changed or would be extremely minor revisions from pre-Indiegogo launch.

Now that the software (or maybe still hardware adaption) isn't there, we have the silence and the disappearance of the developer device loan programme.

Jolla have proved themselves to be anything but "agile" when it comes to keeping things on track, updating important facets of their OS and informing their users and interested parties about what's going on.

First sighting of the tablet since MWC (4 months this week) was in the photo from that Chinese article published yesterday.
