I wanted to buy two, but only paid for one because I was once burned. I will likely order another if ever available.

My humble prediction,
Sales will rise as soon as the first deliveries are confirmed.
It is obviuos e.g. Jolla is holding themself back with promotion or even proper mention to prevent another waterloo for themselves.
This tablet will sell because of its history if available and does not sell because of its history as long as it is in the making.
I promissed to do some promotion by collecting ideas here and i have some write up already but honestly, without a finished product, all effort would be tainted by historic events and the little cannon fodder i have would be a flash on the straw if not backed by events/release.

I am kind of surprised that Jolla did not purchase a bunch of these tablets to help the campaign to become a reality.
Then use the Youyota instead of their joke of a refund.
The way Jolla is doing the refund has upset many people. And I believe there are many who want nothing to do with Jolla. Basically Jolla screwed themselves.

I think it's better if jPad backers take the refund, evaluate the situation and if they want to transform it to support for yyTab.

Personally I would give blood to get SFOS on a decent hardware unit, but I wouldn't give **** to save Jolla company.

"Hey people, look, a lone amateur with just a few hundred supporters has successfully released the very same thing that we, a proper company with 100+ employees and megabucks in international investment have so spectacularly screwed up!"

I guess the first tablet's (Jolla's) unhappy ending didn't boost the sails for this one. Many are careful and might rather buy the device when it actually exists.
Crowd funding campaigns are risky. And even if you receive the product, you may have early adopter's remorse with it.
I pondered long before I placed my perk, now I have to ponder should I get more and how many. Maybe the optimist in me wakes up.
