I feel the fat lady is singing, well she might if she was not drunk on egg-nog, or buried over her head in the snow.

I dont think Jolla is ever going to ship any other tablets

Jolla is a first and foremost a software company NOT hardware, as they have said Sailfish is its "crown jewels", it is how it generates income, now and in the future. (One reason it will never be released as "open Source" as far as a tablet goes)

The original phone has done its job, Its got the app store The original 200-300 tablets shipped have shown that Sailfish can be ported to any screen size device.

But now the whole tablet saga has become dead weight for them. They very nearly made it but sadly failed to delivery. Now they dont care.

I think in the new year. those who have purchased Tablets via the shop will be offered either a refund or an offer on a Jolla2 phone. This phone will, running Sailfish be made by someone else but not Jolla, Whatever the deal these people will not be offered a tablet.

I think Jolla will be forced to do this ONLY as a legal requirement

Those of us who supported via indigogo, will again be ignored in this "new and exciting deal" It will be a continuation of the "soon" posts for us.

The months will go by..

A new phone, a newer OS, new partners will all go ahead - how wonderful it will all be!

The original backer will still be waiting..

What will happen for us?


NOTHING!

The Indigo-go campaign failed. They are not "legally " entitled to make any returns. Jolla can probably pay off a decent chunk with some non-tablet based offer. Maybe a car sticker (do not use in the wet) or a badge for supporting Joll (both made in China) How many unhappy customers left a 500, a 1000?

Sailfish will be off the ground and selling well in India and Russia and around the world. "Jolla hardware" oh that was another company. That got sold off, lost down the back of the sofa The longer time goes past, the futher Jolla will sail away from the tablet, and the less our cries, shouts and screams will be heard...
