Their second device should have been a phone with better 'state of art' screen, more RAM, better CPU, with the same size as Jolla 1 and compatible with TOH-s.
However, the tablet does have USB OTG -- shouldn't this open up a host of possibilities for external keyboards, hard drives, or other peripherals?
I cannot see how marketing a tablet could improve native app situation for jolla phone.
(*) Unfortunate quote from the recent Jolla Crowdsourcing blog:
Finally, a reminder that Jolla is mainly a software company, which means that we need to rely on our partners developing hardware for us. This will cause some unfortunate limitations as we have limited possibilities to add new hardware features to our products. In practice this means that for our upcoming, very first Jolla tablet, we are likely no longer able to add new hardware features. We had to make our choice quickly about the platform in order to get it kicked off into development.

Why should it be gone? See the campaign info about timeframe for splitscreen feature release.

Earlier this week I even succumbed and bought a Jolla phone. I originally planned to wait until I could compare Sailfish / Ubuntu / Tizen but I got bored of waiting.

Out of interest, were you lucky enough to get the VIP box?

I ordered a tablet too and am sure that I'm not in those 30.
To come back to the earlier discussion, with this tablet I'm also planning on helping devs to make qt apps for sailfish, things that I was not going to do just two months from now.

In fact, in with the Jolla "the first one" I do already own a (mini) tablet with Sailfish OS, 3G and excellent battery life.
The Jolla tablet will bring me more of the same functionality
- minus the option to make phone calls with it by inserting a SIM card
+ extra joy reading comics and watching pictures
At the set price level of the Jolla tablet I don't expect any improvement in camera, speakers and general hardware quality over the Jolla phone, on the contrary.
I don't need either, Just supporting Jola hopefully rebuilding what's left of my dream.
Marketing wise I think I can help Jolla to promote their brand with the tablet better than with the phone.
I have a lot of experience with nobody being interested in the Jolla phone whatsoever.
Tablets are more common good than a phone which is being considered more private, sometimes laying around, self inviting people to try it.
Tablets are more exposed to public eyes than phones because they are bigger and are being used for longer reading sessions.
Exposure including fancy Sailfish moves such as true touch controlled full multitasking (now temporarily postponed by faulty out of memory task killer) and touch control of the minimized tasks might just attract some curiosity.
For explaining Sailfish to iOS / Android addicts, it helps that the screen is big.
Maybe Jolla should have started with the cheap tablet and the move to the ultimate smartphone. Nokia's NIT's only got 3G / Voice throughout step 4 of 5
