Similar form-factor with linux on board is something which may (might) extend the use of the device from occasional to everyday (again, just for me).
So to be honest, I think that the original opening message of this thread did sound to me Chen is also a part of the tablet revival project. He was using the word "we" all the time, not the word "they". I do have a feeling (but frankly I don't care too much to look up) that he later posted a comment and clarified he is mainly the man-in-the-middle for communication, and he himself wants to purely focus on the qwerty project(s). All of this is not meant to catch Chen on particular words with particular timestamps and try to build some big conspiracy plot, all what I am saying here is that reading the original first post could easily leave the impression he's part of the real Youyota team (in particular, I understood it that way at the very beginning).

Whatever; something I actually do not understand is why this other person - let's call him Mike for instance - never registered / log-in here to say something. Even now, a message of the type "we ****ed up, the project is lost, we spend X-fraction of the money and we gonna do this and that with the (1-X)-fraction; sorry guys, no more youyota" sounds to me much better than awkward silence. It was a crowdfunding, all the bakers knew ... ok, should have known ... it might fail (and in my eyes, the bad odds here were amplified by the previous failure of Jolla)
