This image tells you everything you need to know about the folly of the tablet from day one. As several of us said, an Intel platform was likely a dead end as far as any growth or other design wins were concerned, and was a total waste of time and money even if the hardware is heavily subsidised. The cost of porting the OS, AD and hardware adaption made up nearly 60% of the costs. What a titanic waste of time and money for what amounted to a vanity project.

Also I find Saarnio's version of events highly suspect. Main investor pulled out the day after SLUSH, huh, causing this mess? Why was the press release (now taken down) written a month earlier then, Antti? This was clearly happening with or without that investor. Furthermore, I'm sure them pulling out the day after he delivered his speech at SLUSH is no co-incidence. They were probably hoping for signs of life but saw none.

Because it was a typo. The day was correct, but the month was off by one.

If your native tongue had "lokakuu" and "marraskuu", you'd also have a hard time mixing up October and November...

Bodes well if they can't even get the PR right for their bankruptcy (protection).

The questions is if it's the European or the Asian investor jolla is working with in this c series.

I think Grigory Berezkin, via votron ltd is the single investor with the key to the tablet.

Sailfish is linked to Sailfish Holding now as well I guess. It's Owned by Grigory Berezkin, JollaOy and some Asian...Chinese org.
