Also today the company reiterated its intention to deliver the Jolla Tablet it crowdfunded last year (but has yet to ship). It said it is “working hard” to get the first tablets shipped. “The software (Sailfish OS) part of the work is in good shape but we have been slowed down by supply issues of certain hardware components. We expect to solve this issue very soon,” noted Saarnio, in a statement.

This has not changed since two year IMHO. AFAIK Jolla has never said they'r a HW company. Thats why i still say there will never be a second Jolla Phone.

My guess is the Jolla HW will only focus on HW adaption to make it easy for other HW companys to adapt sailfishos on they'r phone. That's all.

But I still think it will be hard for them to convince phone companys to use SailfishOS instead of Google's Android.

Just take a look around the world there are many "smaller" phone companys but everyone is using Android. Yeah also history company like commodore is making a Android phone now. It's to damn easy adapt Android so why lay resources on some small OS such as SailfishOS?

And then we have Fair Phone. Not even that company is willing to run sailfishOS as mainOS. Now THAT is a company that SHOULD choose SFOS. But they are to affraid.

Summary is personally I think 2016 is the last year we hear about Jolla. But atleast they tried.
