New idea, instead of buying some other Intel Tablet we can still buy JTabs from Taobao.
Hopefully someone useful with a 32gb official JTab can extract the recovery LLVM snapshot for us to use, or maybe we can acquire a suitable image through other means.
At worst we still have to use the HADK to get a sailfish image, but at least we will get free kernel releases from Jolla rather than having to do that work ourselves. It might even trick the store into giving us OTA updates and maybe alien-dalvik support if we're lucky.

Given they don't have enough cash to refund everyone fully, I expect they don't have enough money to do this either.
But that doesn't mean that some enterprising DIYer can't get themselves a working sailfish JTab.

I think jolla are **** scared of dealing with them, fearing they might get a little bit of their own medicine!

I read no mention of any swap deals. I wonder are we to take it that they have nothing of equivalent value to swap? i.e. the phone they're releasing is probably going to retail at $100?

I can't help but think the components that are not available are in all those unofficial jolla/android tablets for sale. maybe the factory wanted to make some cash back.

Did actually someone order one of these tablets from China received it in real and flashed it successfully with sfos?
If yes we can all spend our refund in buying them .... again ;-)
