The surprise will be a T-Shirt, yes, but it will read "My money went to the Jolla Tablet Campaign and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt."

They are figuring out stuff. I don't think they know what they are going to give us

Lol, what? In other words "We screw you, but you'll get free candy. Wanna talk about it?"

Yup. That sentence alone is clear evidence that they consider this nothing more than a funny game. If even after this anyone takes them seriously then I feel sorry for him/her but hey, he/she gets what he/she deserves.

Does anyone know how many tablet backers were from the US? There's no doubt that there's a lot of free software talent in the US that is completely untapped by Jolla at the moment because you can't really use the jPhone over there.

I know Americans from other forums who would have ordered a jPhone but didn't because of that, and they jumped on the tablet. I doubt those people want a crappy Intex phone either, so how are Jolla going to get them developing?

Jolla needs all the developers they can get right now.

However, you can be sure you will not end up empty handed. We might even have some positive surprises in stock for you. But more on that will follow, feel free to speculate!

If the surprise was the 'brain' of a PuzzlePhone running Sailfish and you had to buy the rest would you be happy with it?

BUT: as it looks like, he/she will not get what he/she deserves

Well that is a one possibility but you would have to wait it 9 months(and who knows there can be delays).

This made me think they were having a little laugh at us

By start ship the tablet and stop screwing its supporters(devs) is a pretty good start. Yeah, let's start with the basics.
