I'm really just wanting you to address the Qn/point (admittedly it isn't necessarily easy without some careful/heavy research), if you don't know how that's fine.

I'm glad you weren't inferring that I see Jolla as my "special friend", & that only you are the master of all objectivity, thanks for the clarification.

They've already suggested they have way more issues than just display-related to resolve (as if that isn't already obvious), see prior posts. They haven't even officially announced a delay, when/if they do (it's becoming increasingly likely there'll be one, we'll know for sure soon), if they say "Oh, it's just display problems -that's all", THEN you can go crazy, if there's a solid basis for that. But claiming now in the absence of their own official statement, that they're using display issues as some kind of smoke-screen, & the sole reason for any delay, is being disingenuous at best.

I didn't see your complaints about the massive yr upon yr delays for UT before it finally started to solidify at the start of this year, even today it's still far from fully baked, & certainly no more capable overall(1), less IME but that was ~7mth ago.

Re: the lack of updates. It is 4 months since they updated the main part of the Indiegogo page. However I guess you could say I was wrong as it's 'only' 3 months since they issued an update in the Updates section (to say thank you at the final -extended- close of the campaign). That they can't be bothered to push what little info they've published on the blog to the campaign page speaks volumes for how little they regard or value their backers.

C'mon now, really clutching a straws here, there was more recent updates in the BLOG, the BLOG is referenced at IGG, I agree they should also do their updates at IGG, but it's not really something one can crucify them over. It's an easy mistake to make, I don't think there's anything genuinely sinister going on, just complain to them(2) that it's unacceptable that updates aren't landing there too, they'll probably correct their processes & ensure they land there too from now on.

The desktop integration will be the sole really strong PoD

Ask around on Twitter for one of the PR folk, there's a few there IIRC
