What is keeping you from capitalizing from your (as of yet) biggest chance? So far you had one IGG crowdfunding campain, as well as a pre-sale; it appears both of them sold-out? Why not placing the tablets on pre-sales again?

Would you pre-purchace something from company that might be bankrupted even before the IGG pre-orders are delivered? I doubt there wouldn't be many who would take the leap of faith now with the current state of Jolla and the few daring buyers wouldn't make any difference in the big picture.
Its a catch 22; if jolla does not get money, they wont be able to ship tablets. But if they have nothing to sell, they wont get money. And apparently also not an investor. They need liquidity, and the best bet would be on the tablet, which has won an award. If people buy the tablets or not, thats to be seen. What i recall, for example the hp tablet sold like hotcakes right before their division got shutted down.
tortoisedoc ( 2015-11-22 08:39:51 +0300 )editYes, but thats a different problem and part of the risk. Point is, why is jolla NOT pushing more presales? And yes, the tablet still is their best chance given the phone is old.

that sounds a bit like a pyramid. pre-sales funds indigogo, 2nd pre-sales funds first..
pawel ( 2015-11-21 12:37:56 +0300 )editcuz noone preorders if the tablet wont be delivered
michel ( 2015-11-21 12:59:55 +0300 )edit@pawel : its a piramide scam only if you do not deliver; jolla has product and also delivered it to some; if liquidity is what they are missing in order to push out the rest, then preselling is a viable solution. The more they will sell, the more likely they will be able to push out all the tablets. Basic economics dude!
tortoisedoc ( 2015-11-21 13:14:59 +0300 )editwith all money problems? That would really attract a lot of buyers!
rgrnetalk ( 2015-11-21 14:48:17 +0300 )editSure, why not? You can always bind payment to delivery. Not you, actually, but Jolla could offer it this way. And as far as I understand, they do already offer some policy for withdrawal of one's order.
