The argument was the cost of developing the tablet, scale has very little to do with it.

Scale has everything to do with it if you want investment money, or you could do Mer with community UI, go bother them they are too small and too slow for your liking

OTA8 means 48 weeks of work, right? +8 weeks for next release (ota9), still no copy-paste? Big company Canonical? After a year of work?

Wow, community rocks, faster than a bunch of hired coders it seems (we'll see if it works in Jan 2016 for Ubuntu)

There's no point in Nokia reopening factories. Not even Apple do that. Nokia aren't doing that with their tablet either. It's built by Foxconn. The problem is Nokia rightly do not see a profit in developing their own OS or quite possibly even doing phones at all.

My point is that Jolla messed up/ignored the fact that the had a budget much higher than what they asked for...why didnt they Mange to produce more tablets.

why didnt they ask the backers. "Hey, we have some financial issues regarding tablet production and we can't do the qa we want. We believe it's better to ship what we have rather than jeopardize the hole project"

Also wonder why the project did several screen changes when they were short to n money? The old screens didn't work at all?

Infact www.fairphone.com and Jolla should merge.

Fairphone "most open" hardware
Jolla most open OS

what a combo would that be?
how about the One Plus X?

It uses the Snapdragon 801 SoC which is virtually identical to the 800 in the Nexus 5.

I know there is a lot of other hardware that needs support, but surely this is a good candidate for SFOS adaptation....

Hope the cost cutting came early enough to secure resources to finalize tablet and serve its customers and there by save a tiny hope for the future of jolla

Nokia is still connecting people amazingly enough, most don't see it/experience it, but the fact they moved from consumer products to network seems to work out for them. Leave the consumer space to the mega-corps, they have the budget to choke us all with ads of their super products (some claim apple won with browser experience, seriously doubt it, they won with billions in marketing, since the ipod times, you don't grow a hipster fanbase that high with just a product/experience, but then there is this: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/04/24/...wser-engineer/
Tolmasky left Apple shortly after the original iPhone was released as the company no longer felt like a startup
Apparently Apple was just (feeling like) a startup then)
