If you look again you will see I was referring to the number of Jolla Phones, not the Tablets. But given this is a thread about the Tablet that's an easy mistake. However they are going to be stocking up for general availability so I wouldn't be surprised if they did a run of at least 50k for the Tablet, if not considerably more given a 2 year sales timeframe.

I agree with you on the communication thing though, the point is perfectly valid, the idea that they lack resources to put up a blog post every few weeks is rather laughable, although I question this notion that because a project is publicly funded that it has to be developed in public view as well, it seems to be the convention but I don't see it as something explicitly required by the crowdfunding model.
