Hmm, the hardware manufacturer doesn't probably have permission to use Sailfish OS so they have instead installed Android to the devices.

They also don't have permission to make tag heuer watches but that doesn't stop them!

Yes it is rather obvious someone rudimentary photoshoped the android tag from N1 over to Jolla Tablet.
So there is much to read from this little intentional change.
In the contrary, Sailfish is still poping up in the text of my translated version. Seems like someone was in a rush.

It must have been relatively easy to swap to android because of the aigo sibling.
If not, still some chinese are like

and swap OSes in no time to have better chances in market

My guess is the manufacturer produced quite a batch to be able to deliver in time, Jolla did not pay (maybe even the first batch) and is now trying to reduce his damage before HW is totally outdated.

The taobao seller seems to be legit and has 6 years of good review history.

Well, crap. This is not a good sign; my own guess would be that the factory has gotten tired of waiting for funds, and has started dumping whatever stock they had built up.

I highly doubt these tablets will be shipped in the Jolla packaging, though...

hmm... NOT!

Even if this is true (We need a chinese reader to confirm imho), Manufacturer selling the already produced batch does not tell he will not produce more if payed for. Possible if they are *pi**ed* but not confirmable from that "news".
Only safe thing to read from that find is he seems to have lost faith those already existing tablets will be bought/payed in a timely manner and is taking his safety measures to not draw the shortest straw in the end.

But yes it could be a lengthy discussion with Antti during the mer meeting tomorrow i guess. Already stocked up Popcorn!
