From both of those however you can facilitate growth and Jolla don't seem to have grown their staff greatly yet the list of development tasks still to be done is large. I do hope their expansion into new markets improves the shipment and profit as the one that matters to me is seeing the software improve and that requires investment in people.
Agree, but I feel like they sidetracked themselves with things like the Jolla Launcher (now delayed), TOH and choosing to go with a bespoke (low quality) phone after the ST-E / Ericsson withdrawal instead of a good quality off the shelf design from a Chinese OEM. For such a small company they gave themselves far too much to do, in my view. I hope some of the management issues from the old Nokia didn't creep into the new company, but focus and priorities do seem a little funky.
