That is such and complete disappointment if true. Jolla will reach 2.5 M and would do it even faster with 3g. They should open that option. The tablet would go from something that will collect dust to something useful. Or i might Simply returen it.

We had last year a chance to 3G. But the development of a product must have an end. The devices have to now be mass produced so the date can be met in May 2015.
Therefore, even a finely cut was made and added some improvement.
no company can send up to the last moment developing and valid for 1 month to the buyers.

Same here though I'm using a Mac and an Olympus camera with exFAT cards.

And no, FAT32 is simply not acceptable.

I'd be disappointed that they'd listened to the Linux fundamentalists instead of the 95% who don't use Linux if I hadn't already decided to sit the tablet beta out.

I bought a Sony Z3 compact tablet instead as I need something reliable for a month long cycle tour. It being waterproof, supporting my camera and having loads of mapping software to choose from easily swung that decision.

I really can't work Jolla out though now. On the one hand they're saying that not supporting ExFAT is in line with their open ethos and on the other we've still not got a working CalDAV or a working CardDAV implementation. Instead we're syncing through fricking Google and Microsoft. They need to walk the walk.

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

Yes, but they could open the option when 2.5 is reached a 3G version could be shiped 4 month later. And ship this basic version in may. That would triggar the community to help spredding the Word more laud and faster.

Also gps seems to have dissapeard since last year. What about gps/glonass? That toghter With 3G is a killer combination called navigation.

With some work from jolla toghter With community we would easly reach 2.5 in 2 weeks.

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

I agree, you're absolutely right. I have no idea why Jolla didn't simply look at the current market, examine what other companies are building, and simply copy every single design decision made by the most popular tablet builders. Their best bet would have been to create a tablet absolutely identical to an iPad, or at least a Samsung Galaxy or the like. Just what are they thinking, trying to make their own design decisions for their own reasons? Ridiculous!

Exactly! If Jolla's first experimental device isn't as reliable and functional as those on the market today that have already gone through several generations of design and improvements, I'm going to be really really mad. ;)

You can use some software to read/write EXT2/3/4 formats on every OS and no stupid size limits!

I think EXT2/3/4 was really good dissension! No money to M$ for using some formats!

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

Can't believe people around here are so short sighted. Yes, I can, but 95% cannot and I can't understand why they should.
Jolla can't profit from Linux geeks only.

EDIT: I could imagine a scenario where it would work:

When formatting the card in Jolla, it would create a small FAT partition with either Jolla Suite that would include EXT4 drivers for Windows, or just the driver. The installation dialog would pop up whenever you'd connect the card/tablet to the computer and check for the driver's presence was unsuccessful.
But how it is with the stability of these drivers?

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

i think its moooore less from 95% :)
we creat a how to for windows / MAC user in different lang and good is.

for me its fine. I use linux and i will post in german lang a how to on my website :)

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

I'm really happy that Jolla decided to drop the useless-to-me exfat licencing scheme and went for larger battery and option for extending the internal drive size. $25 is really good bargain for 32GB->64GB extension. Compare that for example to the price difference in the N9 vrsions having 16GB and 64GB...

Thanks! :)
