Problem was hardware, not software. That was in proper time for once.
You'll have to take my word for it.
Maybe even floating windows.

If you guys are going apeshit over a charger, this news will perhaps go thermonuclear: https://blog.jolla.com/jolla-tablet-...ant-news-helm/
Seriously, take $5, 5 Euro and buy a proper charger. If you don't know that a tablet requires 2.0A or higher, then you don't need a tablet. I remember when Apple was getting away with charging folks in the EU crazy amounts more for their computers because of the myriad of plugs, voltage support, et al.
Whining over it is just childish. Most of you guys have had a tablet at least once, if not, welcome to your first one. Now get a proper charger.
One deserves a tablet if one pays for it, that's all. And if it doesn't come with a charger, then it needs to come with a clear specification for the user. None of this 'you should just know, dumbass,' stuff.
Finally, there would be (almost) zero complaints if it was stated upfront: 'Charger not included. 2A micro USB charger (ir whatever) required.' Many non-childish non-whiners simply feel that mentioning the non-inclusuon if a charger as an 'oh, by the way . . .' several months after they paid is merely a way of cutting costs by leaving out mandatory accessories.
Still looking forward to my tablet, even if it requires having my maturity, intelligence and character questioned.

You'll have to take my word for it.
Besides, all the statements from Jolla said that the hold up on the "2.0" UI was that they (you) needed to resolve issues and implement new features in the releases in the months prior to 1.1.9 launching, and without that framework it couldn't be pushed.
Your statement isn't credible.

2) With the Phone, Jolla already has a fully-functional and well-tested online update mechanism. So end-users can update the OS themselves.
3) As we've seen, the twitter reports from an early user shows her immediately pulling down software updates for her tablet.
So yeah, the only thing holding back Jolla tablets right now has to be related to actual manufacturing issues; there's nothing else really blocking the devices right now.
EDIT: Ah, I am informed that I applied the wrong gender for Chung Hoi Ching. My apologies!

2) See above.
3) That's from 1.1.9.x (dev version) to 1.1.9.28 which is the lastest stable.

EDIT: or perhaps not... The newly released User Guide notes that you can recharge a partially-charged battery with any USB charger, but a completely flat battery may need the power of a 2A (or better) charger to be successfully recharged. I stand corrected.
