Honestly, the sale of the Jolla tablets on Taobao is the final nail in the coffin of anyone else getting their tablets. Even if Jolla had the money to pay the supplier at this stage, the tablets won't exist as they'll soon be sold on Taobao. At this stage, no investor is going to want to invest in a company where they'd have to pay the costs of manufacturing tablets for orders where the money has already been received and spent.

Jolla the company are utterly dead now. The next steps for Jolla have to be bankruptcy and a liquidation. I'd expect this to happen very soon. The Sailfish OS IP will be up for sale - I cannot see commercial interest in it. However, there is a chance for the community to buy it. Does anyone care enough at this stage, or will the IP just rot on some server like Maemo did?
