would also with a stretch of the imagination allow to connect a hardware keyboard instead of a back cover.
That would be a very expensive solution for such simple use. If you'd use NFC for that, you can't use that NFC-antenna (and probably chip) for any other NFC-use anymore, as there always will be an NFC-tag interfering with it. The one in the cover.

Woop! Back cover can contain intelligence and more hardware.

Seems "everything is possible". Where the contacts/interface is and exactly how it works is unclear but this is good news for everyone on here I reckon.

Pre-ordering folks get a limited edition Other Half.

How amazing would it be if the Other Half was a HWKB?

Jolla themselves certainly seem to be indicating that a HWKB is a possibility.

Yeah I like that a lot.
As a music nut I wonder could it be possible to example fit slightly larger battery there and proper headphone amp. Would be amazing.

I very much doubt that. At least I hope nobody here who pays the 100 euros expects that.

Yes, this is great news and opens the market for really genuine accessories. HWKB, bigger battery, better camera, you name it...

I am very interested in this device. I can have my N9 with a little more horsepower and some android compatibility (without actually running Android). I am definitely in for a pre-order!

know what?
except trying to "connect" N9 & 808PV, i never got around to use NFC
ever
so, why not?
& could always provide a blend back cover w/out NFC tag, for other uses; it's a bloody piece of polymer (aka plastic), right?
