At least Antti Saarnio wants to believe in delivering the tablets despite all. As long he is fighting for it there is chance.

Unfortunately, it is very unlikely there will be any more tablets. Even if Jolla manages to get new financing and reduce current debt, the new financing must be directed to something that would be able to generate additional revenue, i.e Sailfish OS, not the tablet that is basically dead end. And getting more financing even for Sailfish OS is unlikely, as there is no credible ecosystem.

In Slush Antti Saarnio himself pointed on me and promised to me that I will get my tablet. So I believe we will get our tablets.
If you are serious, I have a bridge to sell you and Antti has a Sailfish Alliance to sell you, too.

That seems like a rather questionable thing to do. Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
They're about to lay off a large portion of their workforce (by their own admission), which they then hope to re-hire post restructuring. Assuming they do restructure their debt and receive more VC money and grants from the government, do you think all of those staff will have happily sat in limbo for several months? Some might. Others will flee and look for employment elsewhere. Even best case, Jolla face huge problems, and beyond an act of charity I don't see how or why Intex would continue to develop a Sailfish device.
If they make it to MWC as a going concern, rather than in administration, it'll be a surprise.

More rubbish. You're assuming they've known that this financing round would be delayed since before the summer. Based on the tablet delay pattern, I think the best guess would be that this started after the first round were invited to pay their taxes, before the second batch got delayed. For all you know it's still coming, waiting for the right deal.

Why would anyone invest in Jolla and to make it even more stupid. Why would anyone invest in Jolla so they can ship tablet with no ROI? Call Nokia, give up some of the OS and go on...

Some of us saw it coming for almost a year. Not everyone wanted to hear.
