I had the same impression as you did. And that's why I backed this project. Not because I needed a tablet. I had tried Jolla tablet, and I wasn't too happy about it. Mainly because the battery drained fast even when not in use, and because Intel processor does not seem to be a good fit for mobile devices and I'd much prefer ARM based solution. I backed it because I thought chen was part of it and I wanted to give support for such bold endeavour. If I had known the full picture I probably would not have backed it out of scepticism.

But to make sure, I hold nothing against chen for this debacle. I trust he does his best. It's just a bummer to lose money twice on that tablet, since on the original Jolla round I donated what I had invested to Jolla.
