10 euros? Are you sure you did not misspell 10 percent?

This is yet another demonstration of the deep misunderstanding some people have. How many times does this have to be repeated? The tablet and the phone run the same OS! Sure there are two different builds for two different CPU architectures but that is no big job for an automated build (Jolla does use those, right?). The only extra effort is testing on different screen sizes but since there are only two and they want to support OEM devices, they will have to run those anyway.

So that. You are right, they are not legally obliged to deliver the IGG tablets. But you should also know that there is more to running a business than the bare minimum you are legally obliged. In business, it matters more what people think you are worth than what you are actually worth. Reputation is more valuable than machines, factories, the state of your bank account or the portfolio of your products.

So you are right, Jolla is not legally obliged to deliver the damn tablets or compensate the backers. But can they afford not to?
