So... probably the partner space idea is not a new concept of the tablet and SFOS 2.0, but a capability that is already in our phones, just not fully deployed yet.
Of course it's not new - they have been advertising it for at least a year (and showcasing it with Angry Birds on MWC 2014) and it is a part of their Android launcher (Stella).

You can even customize it since November (thanks to Sfiet_Konstantin).

It is just more integrated on the tablet.


On a related note, I was quite sceptical about such partner space integration in Sailfish 2.0, but I think it is a great opportunity - it should be quite easy to make a widget area as a partner space component (I don't mean created by Jolla, but by the community) and enjoy N900-like widgets just one flick away on the homescreen.

Partner space is exited by swiping from the edge which would allow for multiple widget screens inside the partner space.

It would be nice to create a pluggable system that 3rd party apps could take advantage of.
