Hang on, surely Jolla, went through a lot of trouble and delay updating the Screen to a "better "model . You cant possible mean that you can just "buy" an aigoX86 off the shelf with the updated screen. This would mean that Jolla did no actual work and just brought a different model to relabel ?

Yes, already had an 16:9 android. It sucked deeply in portrait mode :P

4:3 rocks for browsing!
4:3 is better than 16:9 for anything but watching videos.

I like what Google did for the Pixel C tablet (The european A-paper type ratio - 1/sqrt(2) ) however, it should work well for ebooks and comics too. And it is optimal for PDF files of course.

16:10 8" tablet here. I prefer that to 16:9 and 4:3. It's just a bit wider in portrait than 16:9 but still single hand friendly. I find our iPad Mini a bit of a stretch and less pocket/bag friendly.

It helps it's also only 270g and 6.4mm thick too. I've had phones heavier than my Z3c tablet.

No, what this means is that Jolla paid for all the extra development work, and the Chinese factory is simply taking the finished design and selling it without paying Jolla anything. Given this significantly advantageous fiscal strategy, the factory can still make a profit even when selling at near the cost of the components...

Refund all backers and work with the community on a good Sailfishos port on a tablet device like the Nexus7 would make all of us happy

Just do it, i thought about it more than 30 secs, this idea has to be good
