Well, color me surprised. Antti Saarnio is currently talking on IRC, and has "good news" (most of which will be delivered tomorrow in a media delivery / blog posting?). But, in short, Jolla's gotten some amount of financing.

EDIT: And, of course, I'm scooped by velox.

EDIT2: As for tablets:

<+AnttiSaarnio> We only got the financing confirmed yesterday, and we are now busy analysing different alternatives what to do with TabletGate
<+AnttiSaarnio> We will have a board meeting after Christmas which is to decide between alternatives.
<+AnttiSaarnio> Options are: refunding or to continue with tablets, but then even more delays are to be expected.

EDIT3:

<+AnttiSaarnio> Intex project will continue, we have confirmed that yesterday and there will be new Sailfish phone coming.

EDIT4: On the tablets being sold by taobao:

<+AnttiSaarnio> yes, nothing to do with Jolla, but it seems that our production partner from China started selling some tables which were already produced and in their stock. We are discussing with them that they would stop sales immeadiately

EDIT5: Slightly more detail on financing:

<+AnttiSaarnio> The financing is solid, but we are still very tight. Important is that big partners are starting to support us in China, India and Russia
