No, that's not Elop. That's a very sensible observation. Probably the most sensible in this entire thread. With lots of examples from the history (and present) to back it up.
Okay, seriously now. I actually do enjoy chatting with Dave sometimes, there's some coherent thinking in that jumble of words he tends to spew out. With that said...

Which sensible observation?

I've been known to call a spade a spade and I'm honestly not a fan of the Jolla PR attempts to date. They have a good start, some seriously good sounding/resonating terms but a horrible follow through. They use vague terms like "soon" and their communication in regards to their complications as of late.

If you mean these difficulties around delivery of a tablet; big complex words won't work. Nor does simple, overly vague terms either. The absolute truth could be a version of this: they're working with an ODM, ran into some frustrations with the display, they sourced an option that would be better for the consumer in the long run and perhaps did so in a quick fashion but it will delay shipment and there are some adjustments that will invariably happen.

Mind you, that's my very uneducated guesswork based on circumstantial information sourced from searching and from this forum.

But let's be honest. It's probably the reasoning behind splitting their company to handle hardware. They want to license their OS, they better have answers when Partner X comes with SoC Y and has Problem Z with <insert part here>.

They seem to be doing some rather good moves to resolving these things, trying to avoid some growing pains. But unfortunately growing pains will still happen despite their best attempts.

But if you see something else sensible that Dave is pointing towards; I'm all ears. I'm quite sure I've missed something. I already admitted to missing the display issues.

And I was merely joking when I called him Stephen Elop. Nothing like a serious knee-jerk reaction to a well "loved" name like that in these parts.

The only date I can think of was the one that kept popping up - July 15th. Lastucase, some other sites pointed to something - it ended up being something wholly different; Intex and MWC not the delivery of the Jolla Tablet.

July 25th has not been mentioned yet anywhere I'm aware of btw.
