My problem with your posts (and why I don't answer them as often) is that you often get a lot of things right but also horribly wrong many times - and explaining all those facets can be quite time-consuming for me, that I'd rather spend with my family in the evening instead of explaining.

I don't think you get things wrong from point of view of analysis - you seem quite capable in that area, but that you don't have all the data needed to do a full analysis and have a full understanding.

Consider this post a voucher for a few free beverages with me if I'm in same town as you at some point and let's talk about mobile business in general.

EDIT: And if you're way too far out of the way for this ever being a likelihood, come talk to me on IRC, irc.freenode.net, nickname "Stskeeps"

I'm not, though I was in Helsinki last summer seeing a girlfriend. Nice place when the sun's shining. Enjoyed my time there, and particularly the cakes and ice cream at Café Kokko.

Of all the things I posted, I'm not particularly sure why you highlighted my story about the E4.5 source other than that it involved you. It was used to illustrate the fact that UT devs tend to be very responsive to any serious queries, feedback or contributions aimed at them (personally & institutionally) & do it in the open, and because it was a case that quite a few posters here would already be familiar with. If I got some kind of minor technicality wrong re: the case, then it's probably because it's several months ago, and it doesn't really make the point any less valid.

From the tenor of your response, I assume you find (some of) my posts a mixture of very frustrating and interesting or insightful. Of course I get things wrong, particularly details ... but then all of us are working on ridiculously scant information. If you think the overall conclusions I come to or analysis I post have some kind of ring of truth or strike close to home, then maybe act accordingly rather than wishing I knew more (either about Jolla or soft/hardware generally) and came to a different conclusion.

I won't say no to your invitation, it's very kind, but I think it's unlikely to happen soon as I have a pretty full schedule of travel for most of the rest of the year.

In the mean time, I agree with some of the other posters ... whilst it's not in your job description to be a font of product information, I'm sure everyone would be fascinated to know why nothing of the tablet has been shown for 4 months (or even the software, if the hardware is in a dysfunctional state) and what's going on. It'd be much more productive for everyone than either engaging me in discourse or chewing me out.

P.S. My 'job' has effectively been making relatively accurate analysis from highly imperfect data (and my imp. knowledge) ... or at least more accurate than most other people trying.
