So I've just backed the tablet (red bundle).

Even though I actually have the original Jolla Tablet (was not lucky enough to actually get it from Jolla but bought it from a friend) there are several reasons why I backed another one:
  • red color!
  • more space (the tablet I have has 32 GB of storage, so I might not have to use a uSD card)
  • hardware backup (I really like Sailfish OS on a tablet and no other officially supported Tablet hardware is on the horizon)
  • more devices - hopefully more support for this Sailfish OS platform variant (tablet form factor & x86)
  • showing support for a really nice & needed project (hardware almost by the community for the community - which has been so far mostly the realm of fiction)
  • some remote possibility of also running non-Sailfish OS distros, such as Fedora, on the tablet in the future (Fedora can already be booted on the tablet via an OTG cable but not everything works correctly right now - that should hopefully improve thanks to Hans de Goede)
