Write an open letter to "the" investor [not relevant]

they may sell some phones to people with a system which more care of private sphere. that should not be so few people who are interested...

@cemoi71 I'm just saying that 100k units of a phone per month is really a big number for a phone running a new OS with a nascent ecosystem. Jolla sold somewhere between 50k and 100k units in two years worldwide (my guess), so it would require a huge growth. OTOH Samsung has sold 1 million Z1 Tizen phones in India in 6 months, so it's not impossible. It's about what the investors believe to be a viable business plan.

jolla learns from their own mistakes? not that i noticed, sorry.

ahah ! M. Branson like in the school! seems that some people has never grew up... if you don't care of all of this, why do you spend of your precious time with such infantile stuffs? really contructive...

@cemoi71 Don't diss Unikitty, she'll kick your arse.

Sorry, I didn't intend that to come off mean. I just think that we don't have the slightest idea why the investor pulled out, and we won't help Jolla by speculating. The investors would have knows about the Adventures project in advance, and may even be involved in that. It may even have been put together to encourage them to stay onboard, and they weren't impressed. We just don't know, and it's none of our business.

If the community wants to help, then we should all try to remain positive and hope they can find a way to move forward. There's a lot of value in the things Jolla have achieved so far, they just have to find the right way to present that to someone who can help them continue.

@Andy Branson it's maybe easy to understand it wrong, especially late on night.now i can't delete the comment any more... thx for explain your mind. i think i understand better. i agrre with it
i have no source about it, but a co-worker told me, that not because of the adventure story.
but because of the tablet issue. jolla hadn't bring the tablet delivery on time as agreed, and this investor don't want to put no more money in it... if it's real.. i would find that is maybe a childish situation...

for this kind of business, negotiation will spend a lot's of time... many days (hope not in week or months). don’t know what is still to be done for this tablet. but if it's just, all option parts to gather, conditioning and packaging. then we could give a little more money just to finance the team who will do the job.when we think that what we paid for on igg for it (not so much comparing a tablet of its class). we may do this, between 10$ and 30$, depends on people who don't leave the boat...

While i don't know the background of what made the investor withdraw the money it was pretty obvious from the start that this was not going to be a short trip to the bank. Markets take years to shift, operating systems are not written in a day and creating a desirable well engineered product that will give a pleasant experience to the customer has high R&D cost.

fine!!! why do you put such a non constructive post at this time, based on tiredness? please read again for what we could put inside, you can be creative too.
You know our conviction. Not see just until its wallet, business is not just for a tablet, an insignificant piece of metal and plastic. but a way to spread a system based on an other philosophy.
Are you just stupid? naturally we should convinced of a thing that it would interest
Do you think that i'm sad just because i've not my tablet?
what a small finish you give to me!!!, thank you.
For me that's a real problem if jolla seek .
I want to invest in a combination of systems, on what i could have better control and transparency.
Something on what i'm not fully depending on google,apple ms and etc...
An other one may be interesting too in this optic later: it would be the ubuntu touch.
and who knows, maybe as potential customer, i may interest me on products of this investor, as i could do to denigrate it, or not recommend it...

@pichlo alone os for more private-sphere care is enough? how many people should be interested? not so much? i think many many many people. and currently just jolla has the better solution for it.

@cemoi71, people with money (investors) do not think like you. They put the money where they expect a return of that investment. My question is by no means negative. Quite the opposite, it is meant to be constructive. What do you want to tell the investor to convince him that the money he would give to Jolla would guarantee him profit? This is a business decision, not one of conviction.

are always motivated of philosophy convictions. some one could realize that he could make business if he see that a lot of people think about private sphere, data protection. A lots of countries think about this. you've already seen with the BRICS. do you know why France invests massive on personal NAS Solutions? do you think it is relevant to use it with the current os like ios, android and ms-mobile? currently there demand on those typ of os like sfos or ubuntu touch. the both are not really used currently, because are not really functional comparing with others. is just a matter of time. Next step for ubuntu touch is next april i think, shuttelworth want to give it a real kick. jolla shouldn't pass the train, and should find an other one. Too much time is wasted. if this investor make further strike, then all will suffer. Now that is the interest of no one. There is many other actor who could take place on this market. those convictions one. the strike of the tablet is really miserable and stupid.
