TOH mechanical slider switch? :p (Well, sadly that's not an option for the Tablet, of course)

*EDIT*
Actually, IIRC there was a TOH that might fulfil this function nicely (for the Phone), not sure of the current status.

i am 100% sure there are multiple people with hardware switches set to toggle silent mode.

but yeah, discontinued.

hardware needs to make a comeback...

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

Yeah, I'm using the switch number 2 on my DIP TOH as a silent mode toggle. :)

Tablet demo by Carol Chen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcsj-R_5UNg&t
From video one can see that there are two cover actions on media player. In this video by Jolla Users, Sepehr Noori shows that media player cover actions works by tapping.
Interesting, but I'm little disappointed to this 'search and tap' solution..

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

What about that Partner space? There has not been much information about that (or at least I haven't seen it), just some quick peeks in hands-on videos. But my first thought was that Jolla is finally getting some bloatware content. Or is there going to be a possibility to choose the content of the partner space by user?

Jolla published the contract they made with Snapdeal. Are we getting Snapdeal's hottest offers of the day to the partner space or what?

When I preordered the tablet I was very unsure if I ever need one. However, in the latest months I have been following the development of the tablet with increasing interest. But these last news about the UI "updates" broke my idealism. Now it just feels like they are trying to reinvent a wheel. In fact, I sent my Jolla to maintenance (again) few days ago because of accidental rebooting (yep, again). I have been using a Nokia 3109c as my main phone for a month now, and I'm not sure if I need a smartphone anymore...

Doesn't fully answer all of your Qns, but some of what you ask is covered here:

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

I had watched this before, but now watched again and now understood better what Marc said about partner space content. And it actually looks like a nice idea, but they would need some more interesting partners (like Spotify or Netflix, as Marc said). Not very happy with a chance to check every morning what is on sale in Indian webstore Snapdeal... :D

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

They said you can configure and even disable it.

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

It has been said that if one doesn't want to see these offers or if one doesn't use partner space at all, one can disable it. Then there are only events screen and open apps in that 'circle'. :)

Re: Jolla Tablet
 

As I understand it, it depends on how you obtained your Jolla device...

If you got it for ~15% cheaper through a special partner, then you'd be expected to put up with the partner screen (I'm sure there'll be unofficial workarounds, but I'm also sure they'll try to make it compelling so people won't be in a hurry to remove it), but if you paid for a normal Jolla device that's not from a partner bundle, then you won't have the screen, unless you want to hack it back in -for some reason.
