Congratulations for them! My guess, however, would be that the Pebble OS is just _slightly_ less complex than Sailfish.

And if Jolla only software company(btw why update 2.0 came later if so) why they produced the tablet.

Marketing, of course. It's been some years since Jolla formed, and they only had the Phone to show off their OS. As an aging device, and with no successor, the Phone is limited in how well it can advertise Sailfish. The Aigo x86, a low-cost tablet with a large "retina" screen, made for a perfect way to show off the beauty of Sailfish, and the Indiegogo campaign raised plenty of buzz.

they failed at large with dates, delays, communication about it.

Nothing I can say against that.

Updates after months of delay and silence do not really count

Well of course they do -- it's better than NO updates after months of delay.

Revolution is not about UI, buttons or swipe, but about UX, and while with N9 and even with Blackberry10 i felt natural with all gestures, with Jolla you need to learn and get used (if you explain UX it's wrong UX).

Funny thing, I personally don't give a crap about UI/UX.

If you really want a perfect user experience, get an iPhone -- Apple's spent billions getting the user experience right. But if you want freedom to access your file system, freedom to customize the OS, freedom to run your own software... Well, Jolla seems to give you that. Otherwise, get ready to spend hours (days?) hacking your device and voiding your warrantee...

You remember you are talking about some standard chinese tablet with some modifications(search this thread for links of found "brothers" of Jolla tablet)

Ah, if only. Had Jolla settled for a vanilla Aigo x86, we'd all have had tablets in our hands last Spring. But no, they had to get the _perfect_ screen to show off Sailfish. And so, endless delays.

BTW, if you want, you can check out my own thread on the Aigo x86:
