And please Jolla, if you read this! You can not say at every dead line: "we need more time"! You should say it sooner! Then it will be fine. It is like you give us a lollipop, when we unscroll it, you take it away and say: "you can eat it in next month".

I guess you have not worked on a HW company especially not in small company!? Because if you did you should know that it's not a simple task make everything work out as expected. If you are a tiny company like Jolla it is hard to get components, test stuff and make everything work in short time. Big manufacturers of, for example TFT screen, is not that interested in a small company as Jolla.

It's simple: the screen company X may say "Hey we have a good screen for you" and that probably means some untested screen that is not fully tested in production.

Then later Jolla see a lot of problems and then everyone blame Jolla instead of, in this case, the screen company.

The true is: If Jolla fails to deliver the big screen company takes no risk but Jolla may go bankruptcy, Now this is the crude market! We, as customer, can cry as much as you want but this is how it works.

There is always stuff that changes we may not see those problems when choose Apple, Samsung or whatever but they are there. In big companies they shut up about those problems and moves on without you as customer knows it. Jolla or other small companies can not do that. They have to tell the true when they must.

But everybody on this forum should know that Jolla Tablet was a prototype in February. Not some product that Apple/Samsung has created and ready for roll out a month later!
