Noooooo I mean: it's not like I *need* the Jolla Tablet that badly with my Surface Pro 3 and Jolla Phone still going strong but I was getting very excited now that May was nearing to play with it so I was really looking forward to it

Exactly this, I don't think anyone needs the tablet

And I was secretly hoping they were gonna surprise us and release it early... oh well

2 months, and it isn't much anyway.

July's good.

In a way, it's better - I can get tired of playing with TOHKBD2 only to get the Jolla tablet ;-)

That's also making certain assumptions

I have no issue waiting for the tablet. I like a good count up thread. I wouldn't mind a delay a year or two.

The bad thing is that this also postpone everything else. Like a jPhone two. New sw updates.

To me...What I would do if I was managing jolla and in a simular situation...make something fun about the delay. I would contact jolla chocolate and order one bar for every buyer...print a tablet on the paper and ship it in end of may...

I'm ok with it being a few months late. Jolla is being open and very professional about it. Better to get things right and avoid a lot of headaches down the road.

I would disagree with "open", as they at least said there would be delay because of HW change, i think they did it as they learned on same mistake when phone was released. But still they did still did not provide info on new HW and what was the real reason to do it last minute.

Yet again, please try not to see too much into it. Jolla is not a friendly club, it is a corporation. They are not being "open and very professional", they divulge as little as they possibly can.

When will the next update come out? They made a vague promise a long time ago that they will "endevour to publish one monthly". Does that bind them in any way? Of course not. Therefore they are free to do as a normal corporation does and keep it to themselves until the release time.

The tablet is a different animal. They made a very specific and public commitment to deliver by the end of May. Does that bind them? Of course it does! Now they've realized they cannot deliver on the given date. What options do they have? They have to make another announcement with a revised release date. Not just a vague one ("tablet will be delayed"), but a specific one, such as "end of July".

It has nothing to do with openness. Jolla is not special. It is what any corporation would have to do.
