As an owner of a Jolla tablet, I'm happy to hear Jolla will now spend some time on further optimizing Sailfish for tablets. Not that I'm having major issues with it BTW. Main problem I think are with Android apps running out of RAM. Also, the Web browser is a bit slow on some sites, but they're the same sites my Jolla phone is slow on.

FWIW I think Mark Dillon's original ideas on doing a tablet version of Sailfish were good: people are more likely to try out a new OS on a tablet than on a phone they use daily, need a SIM card in to make calls etc. Worst case you end up with a gadget that you can use as a second or third home consumer device for browsing or to control your Spotify, whereas a disappointing phone will end up in a drawer collecting dust.

And BTW this new initiative may be an option for me to buy a spare tablet just in case ..


Also, anyone who has seen my tablet likes it. I think SailfishOS 2 may be even more intuitive as a tablet OS than as a phone OS.
