Are you crazy??? Mosen just posted a link to a site that got some weird pre-production version of the tablet, and they totally panned it. It'd be even worse if they received a valid pre-production version of the tablet. People take one look at these reviews, form a lasting impression of the product, and walk away never to return.

If you want to document your development process, that's great. But if you want to market a successful product in the modern world, you don't let anyone actually see it until after you've created a polished, relatively bug-free version.

EDIT: Ok, yeah, you're talking about the software here. My bad. But still, I give Jolla a pass here, as they've kind of tied Sailfish 2.0 and the tablet together, so I would imagine they want to increase the impact by releasing both together...
