I guess they don't really have the money to refund nor to pay to tablet manufacturer, but going for refund buys them more time. And me, with Jolla phone sitting idle can't have any more interest in their os than to occasionally update the phone. ...or until an intex or some other phone comes out with good specs featuring amoled or another high quality display.
Well, who knows, stskeeps himself might be able to using inofficial knowledge (read: magic. this guy is a magician, that's what's up). You and I won't. My best guess is he won't as well, though.
I'd love some more information on this. From the scraps I read on here, I gather there's some sort of signature on each official Jolla device that gets it access to the store. Without it, it's just like a community port. No store, no dalvik, no updates.

Well, what if we transfer our refunds to stskeeps?
The Indiegogo page explicitly states that it was designed in Finland too, so I'd assumed it was the same company who designed the phone.
And Jolla have been pretty up front about this - they have stated that the 'design' they talked about involved the colour, the the quality of the materials used in some of the components, and some modifications to the base design.
You'll have to hunt for the specific online references where they state this (as I no longer have them), but they were certainly in official Jolla posts/blogs/tweets, mostly from Juhani Lassila
There are no lies on that page, only promises they couldn't keep. This bitterness and suspicion is getting you down, man. Let it go
Jolla have admitted that their 'design' was effectively limited to colour and material choices (plus some minor hardware changes, such as the USB connector and a change in display once they discovered how poor the base component was)
