Just to further expand on the contra revenue / turnkey program, which was very obviously why Jolla, Nokia and others chose Intel for their tablets ...

Intel lost $4.2b in the mobile / tablet space in 2014. That is how gross the market distortion is and how determined they are to (anti)compete. They even managed to register negative revenue in Q4.

Even if the Jolla Tablet is great (which I doubt at launch) and glossing over Intel's many other unsavoury aspects, for this reason there's no way I'll be buying one.
