There is no use for tablets (as the term is understood today - of course, back in the day the N900 and its predecessors were called tablets). I've never wanted any tablet, not even a Sailfish one. For me there is no space that it can occupy between a 5"+ screen smartphone and a laptop. They have no added benefit to offer. So, I never backed Jolla's tablet, and I sure as hell was never going to back this one.
Incidentally, the only device I've ever "backed" in my life was the Neo900. More than 4 years later, I still don't have it in my hand. But I've never cried about it, like some people do Dave999.

So cheer up, the battle hasn't ended and we haven't lost it yet. There were lots of fights from the behind. And regardless of various actions, I don't think there will be a financial lost in the end. I am doing my way to make it a positive end for the community. And (unlike Youyota) I do keep promises.

So what's your general strategy now ?
Consider the project unachievable an try to get a reimbursement of the funds invested ?

jolla tablet, sailfish os |

Presumably MOQ stands for Minimum Order Quota or something? How likely is it that they will manage to find someone willing to pay for another 2000 of these tablets? The tablet hardware was already a bit dated in 2017. If the backers received one today (and we should have received it by now) it would be noticeably old, and judging by the current progress I imagine we will be waiting a long time yet. In these circumstances, what kind of investor would throw more money into the project to triple the number of tablets being produced, particularly as the only real reason I can see for wanting one is the OS, and most of that market have already bought in?
I wonder how much of the money is gone - they should be open about it and give people the choice of cutting their losses and being refunded whatever hasn't been spent.
Even if there's a decent chance that the tablet could actually be delivered, I don't trust this team any more.
