Not necessarily. At least in theory. I see no problem with the manufacturer producing more units if he gets paid. After all, only about 1k are on sale at Taobao as far as we know and there were 12k ordered altogether, so the manufacturer would have to produce more anyway.

I practice though, I do not see the future so rosy. I challenge Jolla to prove me wrong.

Yeah, but who on earth cares about smart watches?

Then you could just scuttle the hardware side and sail off towards a glorious sunrise in the software side.

Still that split is never going to happen is it!

I know a company who fell from marketleader to zero by ignoring the smartphone trend for long time, so...
We will see what the future holds

I am not sold completely either at this stage!
But all puzzle pieces for a convincing watch are in place.
I thought jolla would have the guts to be visionary and prepare for the trend.
But my wish fails with a financing solution also, i admit i am a sushi chef talking wishfull hot air on tech...
so after all, i am still impressed by how jolla manged to survive as long as they did!

I think smarelopches have already filled their niche with the original pebble - a remote for your phone. All the added 'features' since have been as extraneous guff for showoffs. They've overreached and will retract back to. The TV market makes this mistake often; previously with 3d. Now curved screens. In the end they're just TVs again.

The tablet choice made sense to demo sailfish could support a range of arch and resolutions.
