I really can't see Jolla attempting their own hardware again, nor any sort of crowdfunding. Personally, I think they realised how damaging it was back in the autumn, and that resulting in a few founders leaving.

So I don't think you'll be asked to trust them again for a physical product delivery. They're asking OEMs to trust in their OS now, which is a much less risky proposition. A pretty awesome one really. They'd be *fools* not to take them up on that crazy deal.
