I disagree - just check the comments on the latest tablet related article on the Jolla blog.
Most of the negative/angry comments basically say "I would be okay with it if you told us sooner & provided progress updates more often". So the issue is the exact opposite - providing too little information too late.

As for "Jolla has already provided more info about their development process than pretty much any other mobile device company than I have ever seen before" - isn't that the whole point of Jolla ? To be #unlike the existing mobile companies and to bring something new and more open ?
