First release to markets doesn't mean anything. The Jolla prototype tablet as demonstrated could have been turned around for production as an android tablet with a crappy screen almost immediately, if Aigo saw it there and approached them and/or the ODM. Sounds far more plausible to me than 'Jolla stole someone else's tablet a few months before it was on the market and passed it off as their own!!!'

Stole? That is normal ODM business.

You really believe that someone stole Jolla's tablet? Wow. And you tell others to grow up.
That Jolla's tablet was based on Intel's reference design has been established a long time ago, BTW.

No, I don't. That's what I was saying.

The outer design of the Jolla/Aigo x86 tablet was mostly copied from old iPhone prototypes. This makes me think that Aigo x86 was first.

I'm almost sure those iPhone prototypes were not known and/or shown until after the release of the AIGO device. It's a standard ODM design that AIGO and Jolla used which happens quite a bit in China, lesser elsewhere.

Have you got any pictures of that design as s standard ODM design? I always thought it had too much similarity with the phone to have been designed elsewhere. 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.
