Agreed.
Only a minor detail. I think its possible they did not necessarily need to reflash to android but at some point maybe switched the production line eMMC to android when they still had all the parts for more tablet but no "sailfish customer" to sell to anymore.
Depends on:
a. When did Jolla break the contract.
b. Did maybe even the manufacturer plan to scam jolla with android version all along.
c. How viable is a mass reflash anyway, taking in account stskeeps "warning" it could be difficult?
d. when where those taobao tablets actually produced?
