I guess we would end up at the same place, but sooner or would have been easier to manage?

It wouldn't have mattered in the least. The tablet cost way more to produce than the amount received from the Indiegogo campaign; they'd have needed to get something like an order of magnitude _more_ backers to have received the kind of money they needed to keep Jolla running.

The Indiegogo campaign was, for the most part, an advertising campaign for Sailfish. One that helped to pay for itself somewhat, but certainly not one that provided anything like a profit to Jolla...
