Also, as a lucky one that has a tablet, albeit via taobao, I must say that I like it and hope there are more Jolla tablets in the future. So I'm ok if this thread continues, taking on a new life, with a new focus on the Future of Jolla Tablets (catchy title!)

I don't disagree with this. I think even though the failure of delivery, they succeeded with scaling Sailfish in resolution, ISA (ARM vs. x86) and above all that their OS can be just as functional in tablet form as it is on a phone.

It's the supporters that are letting me down right now. Petty, puerile and still angry about factors that are unfortunately either: 1) beyond control or 2) a calculated risk that just didn't work out.

Personally, I'd love to see a better spec'd tablet/device come out with features that would make it compelling against the other options and start to move into territories and usability that would invite the layman and casual user alike.
