is there any evidence behind this?

--------------------------------------------

a slim unibody 8" tablet with a high-res 4:3 screen is exactly the kind of tablet i'd be willing to buy, especially with a reversible Type-C USB port.

if it comes with Sailfish i'll buy it in a shot.

How do you make that out?

The edge of the leaked Jolla device looks nothing like the edge of the Nokia device.

How could they adapt sailfish to a tablet? Such a big display does not go well with gestures, all apps would need a new layout.
I don't knot about sold units, but as Jolla sill exists it should be fairly profitable...
However, adapting tablet layouts is probably not the next point on Jolla's to do list, look at how long it took Android to go big.
I think it would be best for Jolla to offer a phone with same size (optimum for gestures) and compatibility with TOH. A safe bet: more fluid design (rounded corners like the teaser-corner), a bigger battery... I see no need for the fastest processor, better at some RAM.
This is what I would work out:
Snapdragon 410 (plus adaption of 64 Bits in HAK)
3GB RAM (two would be enough as well)
2500 mah.
Nokia Camera...

Just a hint because Jolla teaser said "something big begins now". But you are right, the edge of Jolla image is not the Nokia N1 edge. Anyway, I bet on a Sailfish tablet.

Actually, the tablet is (in my opinion) the _only_ form factor that goes well with gestures. Desktop and laptop displays are not convenient for touch-based input, and phones are simply too small to easily input complex finger movements (although they work fine with a stylus). If you're going to be moving one or more fingers in lines, circles, triangles, or whatever, the tablet is just about the perfect size and held in the perfect position to accomplish those feats.

I've tried out some old Sailfish OS build on a Nexus 7 and the UI was just fine.

How did it scale? 2013 or 2014?
It was just fine? Or Uber fine...?

What's the latest speculation? A disc phone?

Make sure you having your credit card ready tomorrow!

My bet 499 Euro + shipment.

Latest, Uitukka 1.1.0.39
The UI scales as 1:1 which makes fonts fairly large on some applications but I like it where it really helps, in fingerterm

I consider it Uber-Fine but your mileage might vary.

I'd love to see that one. I guess it would naturally run SFOS.

Yes, but i was talking about the gestures we know from Sailfish OS already

Sure, I saw since videos too, bit I doubt it's as comfortable to perform the typical gestures on a tablet
