There's a lot more to this than we were told in the last blog post. I don't believe that the components to make the tablet are no longer available - they were taking pre-orders just last autumn as they prepared to go into full production. We're also told that the factory have only made 540 more, when we see thousands on taobao, but they've been reflashed with (a full hw adaptation of) android, but can be reflashed back to sailfish via finland?

I think the manufacturer were holding the tablets to ransom, and that's why the resolution took so long after Jolla got more cash. They wanted even more money to flash them back to SFOS, and Jolla can't afford it. Now they realise that we really would rather have Sailfish, they're trying to screw us too. The mechanism they offer suggests that Jolla were prepared to reflash the tablets they'd already crapped on, because they assume they'll do it now.

All these accusations of scams towards Jolla, and it's the factory that's been scamming all along. They're scum, looking to take advantage of desperate people. If no-one showed interest in the taobao tablets, they'd probably be on their way to Jolla already.
