It just occured to me that Sony is "treating" Jolla the same way as Jolla does with Turing.

Like, Yeah, we might have a Partner that may become interesting in the future, but better to keep him on maximum distance so the gutts and blood do not hit us if they suddenly explode

Still, Jolla has a real chance here.
If they accomplish to put out a fully working "Jony C" within the given timeframe, it would be prove to other oems they actually can match deadlines and make up for some of the impression they left with intex and the tablet.
