+1 to what pichlo , dave have said ...
Personally I would not invest in such a shaky venture.
And those I know locally I have advised a while ago ...not to either...
until there is proper support...
proper accountability ...
at very very least...

Not producing and delivering a tablet would be ethically wrong and would make jolla known as scammer who screwed its customers.
There really isn't a honest way to back off from the commitment to deliver the tablet.
They have got the money, more than requested even, pluss the perks, the tablets are produced. The only way out of this venture is to invest some more and deliver. Jolla should send invites to all backers to recount how many still want the tablet and produce at least that many. Not refunding is legal and understandable, as the devices are really produced and money spent, just that someone at jolla hugely underestimated the costs or some of the money was taken and used for something else. Either way Jolla has the obligation to deliver.
But if the intex device is with good spec, would i accept a phone instead of a tablet from jolla? I don't know. I'd better not paying for a device i have not asked for, there should be something appealing to me, an os, a good screen, then i might take it and throw jolla 1 to the drawer.

It ocurred to me that with this deal, the time is actually on jollas side. Not having money to produce more tablets is understandable for anybody, and after one more year of the tablet saga the device would be obsolite and pointless to even get or produce. I guess that what jolla is doing - produce as many you can, deliver some, buy some time, let the device obsolites by itself, compensate others with special offers.
edit: But jollas hardware company? What about that? They are to produce more branded devices, aren't they? It really does not profit them to let this whole venture to die without continuation. Jtab2 or upgraded jtab1 should be on the drawing table already by now, if any work is still done on this side of Jolla.(?)

Soooo
the real question is...
which realm does the Jolla tablet issue fall under?
A, B, C, or D?

given these points + the fact that jolla focued more on the OS rather then finish the tablet makes it close to a scam and jolla can hide behind the word Crowdfunding. But in reality its a fraud, scam, trick ...

Sure we invested
I am sure Jolla will take action to reduce the pain that some people are feeling (they've already said as much, and that also ensures they meet one of the other Indiegogo conditions, namely about "reaching a mutually satisfactory resolution")

1. Company A asks for money for product A and is funded with 4xx%.
2 Doner gives money
3. Company A takes money and skip Product A and use it for product B
4. As a result there is nothing to ship and money is gone.
5. How could any doner, investor or customer trust Compony A in the future?

Jolla wanted to launch Jolla branded devices still, so they suggested the split to two different companies but it looks like the investors want to ditch the HW manufacturing altogether as Jolla is too small player to compete against the chinese dumping devices to market. If they can produce only a small batch of tablets, it's likely they just get those that are already manufactured and assemble the rest from existing inventory of parts and that's about it, no more Jolla branded devices (or if there is, they are most likely "badge engineered"). As they have lost some of the crew and are tight on resources, it looks like sensible choice as there is Intex and other deals in pipeline.

Endso, I agree there is no easy answer. Tabletgate has already cost them dearly and will cost them even more if they build themselves a reputation of "that company that collected money for 12000 tablets and delivered only 300". Who will want to deal with them after that? Things like that can tarnish a company forever and even cost the company's life if they do not handle it carefully. Which is to say, completely unlike every other PR disaster they got themselves in before.
