I'm fairly sure that Jolla intends for companies like Intex to provide appropriate platforms for "the rest of us" (tm). Best not to compete with your own customers, anyway...

I do have an excess of chargers. They do, in fact, come from devices I no longer use (my first-gen iPhone and my iPod for example). Although I no longer use them, I generally keep many of my older electronic devices around, probably for sentimental reasons. And yeah, the USB chargers have remained usable long after the devices they were purchased with have fallen apart and failed.

The Jolla tablet is, at the moment, a fairly unique device -- it runs Sailfish right out of the box. This makes it valuable. That said, the tablet's hardware is not top-of-the-line, and yes, I don't expect it to last decades. Hopefully other, better, hardware options will be available in the future...
