Hey Dave. Maybe the refund will arrive just in time for you to purchase your new tablet!

How do we know if we are getting the tablet or refund?
At any rate, we'll know soon(TM). Like I mean when I tell my wife I'll get her last year's anniversary present real soon now.

Huh? Jolla seems to keep an unofficial distance from the ports on https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
Nope, no official support at all here! This was obviously all done by employees in their free time. We at Jolla put absolutely no effort into this at all, and don't want to help people doing this in any way!

But in any case, I'm just saying that there's no need to just give up on the whole ARM-based world right at the start.
When it comes to driver support for particular bits and bobs you might find in any given SoC, these are often written and released essentially as a kernel fork, and *not* submitted into the mainline kernel. This means you need to rely on the hardware vendor to update the kernel to newer versions or to patch in the required drivers into kernel updates yourself. Not to mention their kernels tend to target Android rather than a GNU based Linux environment.
Intel is better at mainlining their drivers than QComm, and much better than mediatek or allwinner.

So far, Jolla has been very good about maintaining Sailfish across all the devices running it (few as those may be). So software updates may continue (assuming Jolla itself remains standing).

So 121 early tablets and another 540 means that perhaps the first 600 or so backers and other lucky ones may get a device? With lots of caveats, of course.
Now where's that spreadsheet where we were speculating on our order numbers . . . well, here's the list that was posted on dropbox. No tablet for me.

That may as well be 'Here's the plans of an Airbus A380, the phone number for an engineer and a paper map' when all they want is a holiday in Benidorm.
A few fully supported devices beyond their own, with Android support, codecs etc would be useful for those that don't want to build planes. The closest is probably Fairphone but neither Jolla nor Fairphone are 100% on it being a *fully* supported port as that implies proper QA, support and warranty.
