Furthermore, I'm sure them pulling out the day after he delivered his speech at SLUSH is no co-incidence. They were probably hoping for signs of life but saw none.

That sounds like a likely version of events though. I absolutely agree that Jolla's communication skills were abysmal. Every word coming from their top management was another swing of the shovel digging their own grave. And of course this total lack of communication skills cascaded down the ladder all the way to Jolla employees answering TJC posts.

Ach,
It may sound harsh and flippant... which it is not intending to be...
But fact is ....recovery ..especially in a sector like tech / consumable gadgets...
may well be ( for the Jolla...now...) shy of the impossible.
(perhaps if they had the foreknowledge that finances were becoming tight...they may have spoken to the community /investors to ask for help financially to prevent what has happened...speculation only here...)
Especially nowadays.
Giants with tons of money and backing and clout... have fallen over far far less.

Yes but Jolla got some that most of them don't

Polibility to scale down...to...almost a one man team for a short while if needed.

And since Jolla holding owns sailfish and Jolla as we know it disappears, owners can still sleep walk around the world and trying to sell/license the os if they want. Build a new tablet or something

But yeah. I concur. No money, no products, no devs makes it...

The same day that Jolla annouced its problems, it's biggest owner tweeted for the first time in a year and half.

Just incredibly random thing to be excited about when millions in investments are going down the tube.

Rich people

EDIT: Actually that looks bit like an account hijack. Leaving it here anyway.

This is what worries me - all those people raging all over that blog post about not getting their tablets are actually killing any chance they might have of ever getting them.

Hopefully, the Intex deal and any other potential deals they have will speak louder, and certainly these problems can be blamed on a very late pull out by a backer.

Hopefully...
