Antti Saarnio just made a comment on fb that jolla is confirming further commitment to the TOH concept! Good news for TOHKBD?!

Thanks guys for caring. You are true fans for it. Although these are bold moves for a start-up the reasons behind are very logical: 1) HW business can't be justified with Jolla's R&D investment level, 2) To justify investment level, Sailfish OS must scale with licensing partners, 3) Serving licensing business is a huge task for us, focus is needed (imagine you having several big time customers demanding attention), 4) Producing Jolla phones is very different sport and also requires focus (customers are important), 5) Both businesses have very different kind of investors: Sailfish OS: big, expecting scale, Devices: smaller, mostly private. Selling two in one is very difficult. ...Most importantly, what you see here is commitment. We are very committed to build and conquer with Sailfish OS and we also want Jolla devices to show its full potential (with TOH). Thats why were are brave enough to me bold, Unlike moves
