That's right. Jolla failed because it tried to make a mass-market consumer smartphone. As long as it continues to do that, it will continue to fail. There is not the slightest chance that they will displace Android for a significant part of the mainstream smartphone market. Their only chance is to make a genuinely different product that does not compete directly with Android, Apple, Microsoft or Blackberry AT ALL.
