... focusing on biometrics scanner ... seriously?

according to http://reviewjolla.blogspot.co.at/2016/04/the-last-jolla-tablet-orders.html there is at least some life in jolla, which would like to implement biometrics scanner interfaces.

but i'm seriously concerned about your direction, instead of focusing on your USP (unique selling proposition), you're trying to reach out for the mainstream users.

THEY WON'T LET GO THEIR OS's, and you don't have even the slightest chance to develop something feature equivalent.

BUT: if you'd listen to your fans, and would finally implement features requested from day 1 (open source code, VPN support, SIP, improved E-Mail client, ... there are enough open questions / votes / lists open at tjc ...) you could easily grow the user-base of people willing to pay for such features.

So: what's your goal? in "symbolic words": for me it seems that you'd like to create a mag-lev train, faster/better (still different, and maybe a option if you'd have unlimited ressources) than anything yet available, whilst your costumers are convinced cyclists.

I still hope to see a change in your setting.

[edit]:

as the discussion goes into the wrong direction: https://together.jolla.com/question/64413/request-jolla-tablet-fingerprint-reader/

the suggestion is at 5 Downvotes, the Contradicting Answer at 11 upvotes. So it's clear that the majority of the existing userbase WON'T have that implemented, and there are dozens of feature-requests with 100+ upvotes, which are completely ignored.
