Hey, just got an e-mail from Jolla; it appears that they will be offering a few more tablet "pre-orders", now that they are close to shipping. Here are some quotes from the message:

And, here's a blog posting for the new pre-orders:

They are being sold from the Jolla Shop:

EDIT: One more interesting bit of info from the blog:

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

any discount codes work with the tablet on the store?

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

anyhow, not available anymore ;)

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Does anyone know if Jolla Tablet OS supports adobe flash videos?

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Adobe Flash on mobile devices is dead and not even supported by Adobe for years.
Of course you could dig up ancient Android Flash apk's and an Android browser that can make use of it.

Are you sure that what you want is really Flash videos? HTML5 is the current standard for videos on the web, and used by most video platforms nowadays.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

This post brings me nostalgia to the good old days back in '10 - '11 with recurring discussion briefly going like
"flash does not play..."
"who wants flash anyway, HML5 is the future..."
"ok, but I want to play video's NOW"
"tweakflash"

Since then I learned not to be demanding about mobile video playback.

So I would like to hear, regading HTML5, did the future really arrive or..?

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

my opensuse laptop will happily play pretty much anything on youtube, despite not having flash enabled.

so yes, i'd say the future has arrived.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

no longer letting me select UK as a delivery address, does this mean the store has run out of pre-order devices?

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

It's just the BBC who are in the past and drive my requirement for get_iplayer and/or youtube-dl.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Yeah wtf is up with that?

I use Firefox on my desktop PC (Fedora), but have removed Flashplayer, and find myself having to use Google Chrome when I want to view BBC content.

It's 2015 guys!

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Well at least it is not using silverlight. I don't know it but i guess.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Yes and BBC removed API allowing kodi to be used for BBC, this did work very nicely for some time. :eek:

PS! What about BBC' Android app? It that working OK?

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

One tip - as mpv uses youtube-dl, it can open a BBC link directly. Otherwise I use get_iplayer for radio (inc. live). Works very well. Bound keys to them in my browser, too.

Sorry for continuing O/T.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

tablet ordered.

i don't feel like a fraud now: maemo / meego / sailfish

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Wish I'd waited too, when I eventually get to pay the vat it won't far off the jolla store price.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Not sure, as for my situation it seems I can enjoy some profit.

199 USD * 0,82 Euro / USD (11/2014) = 163 Euro for Tablet
25 * 0,90 Euro / USD = 22,5 Euro (29/03/2015) for upgrade to 64GB
20 * 0,90 Euro / USD = 18 Euro (29/03/2014) for transport

Total = 203,5 Euro

+VAT 21% on USD invoice of 244 USD => 51,2 USD * 0,88 USD / Euro (exchange rate to be seen in early Sept) = 45,09 Euro

That gives a total price of 249 Euro for 64 GB, transport included vs 310,26 Euro in case I would order with the currrent pre-order option.

That's a difference of 61 Euro's or 20% discount something or a Lastu Case.

Bonus:

+supported campaign to make it happen

+be FIRST ONE™ to receive the tablet (and to collect huge eBay price) because pre-orders start shipping weeks later.

So I don't regret to be early backer. :)

PS Correct me if I am wrong, pls

edit: adjusted from 24% to 21% VAT tax.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

BTW, the Jolla Tablet web page has been updated a bit to show that pre-orders are now being taken. The rest hasn't been changed too much, but there is at least one screenshot that looks new to me:

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Good maths! I think I bought at $209 + 20 + 25 + tax.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad I backed it, just would have meant it could have had a few extra Xmas beers if I waited :D

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

I was surely tempted to get another one yesterday, but finally my brain started working and I was able to resist the urge. So now I have to settle for the one I ordered via indiegogo.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Summer vacation is over :mad:
Sun is gone :mad:
The damn winter is comming with **** cold wheater and dark **** days in sweden :mad:

And still no Jolla tablet :mad:

Now I am so pissed I go buy a Windows tablet to be sure no shitty winter comes to my town :mad:

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Ah yes, a fresh new Windows tablet, with a fresh new copy of Windows 10. Enjoy! :p

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Exactly my thoughts :D
Just a few more soon weeks and you might have it ...

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

I dare you to do that.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

TBH I'm enjoying it on my SP3 (i7/512GB/8GB), which is currently triple booting: Win10, Win8, & Win10_WI.
There's some annoyances compared to Win8 (they almost did a complete u-turn away from their tablet-centric users), but overall I'm preferring it.
But we digress, dedicated thread for further chatter on this is here...

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Are you channelling Dave, Mike? :)

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

c'mon! Just keep believing in global warming and than there's no cold winter in sweden no more!

But they never said nothing about darkness tough...

The Doors: "When the music's over Turn out the lights,,,"

so

"When the sun is over Turn on the lights..."

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Another item of interest on the Jolla Tablet webpage... I only just noticed this, but in the technical specifications section, they now have an asterisk next to these items:

• Full HD 1080p video
• MicroSD slot (up to 128 GB)
• Hall sensor
• Micro-USB OTG

Beneath the specs, they have:

I would guess that this means that there are still some technical issues in Sailfish with support for those features. However, I think that would also mean that the version of Sailfish for the first batch of tablets has probably been frozen. So, presumably, Jolla has advanced one more step towards actually shipping the tablets... :)

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Sun is not totally gone, but was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2010.
Would it not make more sense to buy an Oracle SPARC server if you miss sun, nice specs, but a bit larger than a tablet?
:cool:

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Here's another new item at the Jolla website, a FAQ for pre-orders (both from the Jolla store and from the 3rd round of the Jolla Tablet Indiegogo site -- I didn't even notice that they'd opened the Indiegogo page back up):

https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/a...a-Jolla-Tablet

In the technical specs section, they mention that the headphone jack follows the AHJ standard (same as the Jolla phone).

One interesting item is that you can order up to 10 tablets, and shipping will remain 20 euro for the whole order. :)

An item that isn't new, but nice to get more confirmation: they do plan to have all the tablets ordered from the earlier Indiegogo rounds shipped before the end of October:

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Have I missed a recent announcement, or has it slipped another month in the last couple of weeks? Weren't they meant to be shipping early / mid September?

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Ah, sorry, I phrased that poorly. :) The current estimate of when shipping will begin is "early September"; and, with this statement, the estimate of when shipping will end (for the roughly 10000 early contributors) is the end of October. Thus, it would seem that they plan to finish shipping all 10000 tablets within about a month and a half after they start...

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

A subtle but interesting change on the tablet website; the asterisk at the bottom of the technical specs section now says that the software update will take a while:

EDIT: (previous comments removed, I got confused..) Ack! I read that as "2016", not "2015". :) My bad, too sleepy. So, I guess, the update will be _sooner_ than I thought... Man, I've gotta get more sleep.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

When will this tablet hit the store? Haven't seen any progress at all lately. Thank you.

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Actually, they've just started accepting pre-orders at the store:

https://shop.jolla.com/preorder_shop_en

The existing orders will be processed first though; new orders aren't expected to be shipped until November...

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

If only Chuck Norris was in charge of shipping. He'd round house kick each one through your letterbox all the way from Finland.

Now that would be Unlike!

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Ah, thanks. Tbh I was expecting it. After 6 weeks and 4 versions of 1.1.7 we still don't have a stable release, and none of the 4 versions are anything like stable for me. I'd probably have to go back to May or early June of last year for the last time I had this many system reboots and full crashes. I get multiple ones every day. The keyboard freezing / transition freezes are also back with a vengeance for me. It makes you wonder what kind of state 2.0 will be in ...
