I have been silently following the discussion in this thread so before all the "Oh, finally!", "Some info at last!", "What took them so long?" etc. comments come, let me ask one question I have been meaning to ask over the last few weeks:
Wasn't it very clear from those posts that if Jolla survives, then they will either ship or refund the tablets?
I never understood how after the New Years Eve blog post, people were reacting very negatively, shouting nonsense about a fraud (Hi, Dave), even if it only confirmed the positive news from Dec 18th. And how on earth was this pointless discussion (which I am now contributing to) still going on was way over my head
To be honest, I am glad that the tablet episode is over - not because of those few bucks, but because of how well it showed toxicity in the 'community'. Sometimes it is better not to see that.
Wasn't it very clear from those posts that if Jolla survives, then they will either ship or refund the tablets?
Nope, not clear. If they will not promise that clearly, written down in words, or said out loud, then it's not clear. It's just optimistic speculation.
And not to mention the fact that indie gogo funds were donations, so they legally could have said "No refunds, it was a donation". Well judging at least from what I understood from earlier posts.
