Personally I dont need that in a basic phone. If we can go for features i would vote real copy and paste or a faster more complete browser.

Dave,
we are talking about a tablet.
I agree, on a phone this may not really make sense.
But /and I agree to your other two points (especially cookies accepting site-by-site or fast JS enabling, just like MicroB
).

I've no experience of Atom-based systems so I've no idea about their limitations or if the boot process differs from a regular PC. Will it use UEFI, BIOS or something else? I don't particularly want to purchase a device based on assumptions hence why I asked about instructions.
stskeeps told on twitter that they don't intend to lock the bootloader.
I'd imagine that fans of Sailfish who aren't interested in Android support (there seem to be quite a few here) would also want this functionality in order to experiment with loading an alternative instance of Salifish that uses native Wayland drivers, a vanilla Linux kernel, etc.

wicket, why don't you join #jollamobile and ask stskeeps? He got a prototype and told us he will try to boot soem linux distros on it. I'm sure hew ill be glad to answer your questions as good as he can or is allowed to. AFAIK it uses UEFI.

I suspect that the 32GB max is the good old FAT-format limitation. Sure, format it with extfs or something and you'll not face that problem, but the "industry standard" format is still based around the Microsoft formats, so you'll have trouble sharing that uSD card with other mobile devices.
So basically, paying to license exFAT gives you a level of compatibility with all the other junk already on the market today.
Edit: reading comments from others about Jolla phone bring able to handle up to 128GB cards, it's clear this stretch goal is another of those BS marketing buzzwords like "truly open source OS".

thedead1440 why should it be BS? Don't you think that an exFAT license costs alot of money? Just because you don't use or need it, doesn't mean ordinary users won't. For them it needs exFAT, as those cards come preformated.
Will the bashing ever end?

The last time I bought a 64GB USB stick, it came pre-formated as FAT32. But anyway - don't you think that providing a "Format SD card" feature in Settings would be faster, cheaper and, by any measure, better than any exFAT could ever be?

On a lighter note since their other two software stretch goals are aiming for Q3 2015, integrating such an option may take up to Q3 2015 too or simply soon(TM)
