Posted November 19, 2014 Source & IndieGOGO Jolla’s core value is freedom of choice for our community. That’s why we’ve picked Intel’s innovation platform, backed by open source, to power the Jolla Tablet. At 32GB, the Jolla tablet will have the space and hardware potential to be customised, and if you happen run out, there’s always the option to expand with a micro-SD memory card. Sailfish OS deserves a great display to accompany it – and it will. At 330ppi, Jolla Tablet’s display will match the resolution of iPad Mini 3. Side by side, Jolla Tablet is up there with the market's top offering. What's more, by contributing now you are entitled to a special discount. Should Jolla Tablet be sold after this campaign, the expected retail price is 249 USD. UPDATE Along with new funding goals. Goal One: $1.5 million Already pretty much there, reaching $1.5m in pledges will see Jolla work to add support for microSD cards of up to 128 GB in size. Jolla Tablet already supports cards up to 32GB in size, but if it can wangle support for larger capacities it means more media, more apps, and more selfies for everyone. Goal Two: $1.75 million The second goal will see Jolla’s developers add split-screen functionality to Sailfish OS, allowing two apps to run on screen side-by-side. Goal Three: $2.5 million The third (and so far final) stretch goal will add a cellular option to backers (at first in Europe, where Jolla is based and already familiar with the cellular approval process).

Posted November 19, 2014 It's bigger and thicker than iPad mini 3 yet has a smaller battery. I don't know how Jolla is when it comes to power consumption but I doubt it is better than iOS. The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Posted November 19, 2014 I am put off by the OS, It just wont have the software and applications support.... which basically makes it a no buy for me It runs all Android apps natively so the only thing that will feel different is how the OS works which seems to be relatively simple and intuitive so I don't see why you would be put of by it. Overall the tablet seems like a pretty high end one and looks pretty nice along with attractive price. The smaller battery compared to other devices is questionable but I guess time will tell how well the OS operates and deals with the power management. iSwitched from Windows to Linux for 30 days - Ducky Shine 3 Tenkeyless Unboxing - Trixel Wallpapers - Project Lights Off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realise it would natively run android apps, I guess the question is, will it have access to the store, or will you have to sideload? The OS looks quite pretty and it seems very fluid and intuitive, the hardware looks nice and well built too which is a major plus But I still question how easy it will be getting your favourite apps and programs on, if its super simple, then this could be a pretty awesome piece of kit.

Posted November 19, 2014 I hate fucking around like that The idea is if everything goes right for Jolla your main source of apps won't be Android but native apps for the Jolla itself. Being able to run Android apps will be a bonus then. That is of course if Jolla catches on. I don't think so. If Blackberry couldn't do it, they cannot do it. But who knows, maybe they'll be the biggest OS ever in 2 years. I would be happy to eat my words. The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it.
