Seriously. I just twitted Jolla to convert my order to donation. Not much, but ... I hope they will continue.
Nice gesture but it seems they won't needing your generous offer to do so.

In retrospect, should we not have responded to the tablet campaign with a "no thanks, Jolla" in order to protect Jolla from loosing its focus on perfecting and making Sailfish truly feature complete?
And thus giving it a true chance to emerge as THE most wanted and obvious choice alternative (and worth to pay for) mobile phone OS?
Nokia N9 was such a product that could have sold itself if basic support cycle was not interrupted prematurely. I thought the people involved in creating this should have known what to do. Create the same appeal.

On a side note, Intel does not seem to bring good luck to European mobile OS efforts.
Jolla x86 Sailfish 2.0 tablet announcement brought back those memories from 2010 Maemo becomes MeeGo blah blah , partnership with intel etc..
As always, a critical deviation by some overhead premature deal by managers and momentum gets lost.

By that thinking I am not ready to symbolically re-gift my tablet + 64GB campaign money, which I consider lost to a not urgent 2.0 interface "refreshment" project, before to Jolla commits to restructure and regain focus first.

Hope they will find ground to continue on the the voluntary drive of people that want Sailfish to succeed that can finally work on fixing those top page together.jolla.com requests to make Sailfish an natural choice even for Android exclusive app addicts.

As always I 'd love to pay 100 Euro per Sailfish OS license on a sensible choice of platform (Fairphone looks fine enough to me)
