Interesting.

Does having access to those firmware files/tools potentially ease the possibility of porting SFOS on a 3rd party non-jolla tablet?

Or could these files/tools be used to load the missing non-open android/exchange support to community ports like the Nexus 5?

No. You'd be better off using HADK; https://sailfishos.org/develop/hadk/

The Android support is for X86 chips only.

How many people actually have real Jolla tablets reflashed with Android?

Two I know of so far. Asking for the right thing and being very specific seems to be very key.

No one at TMO got it?

I think its better to wait for next sailfish tablet. Unless you are a collector.

This China jPad is just another gamble in the Jolla lottery.

I hate to sound harsh, however I've noticed that TMO tends to talk a lot but rarely spend a lot. Whenever they (we) do spend, they (we) anticipate that device to have a longer than normal consumer product lifespans. Yes, I include myself into this...

So no. I'm willing to bet that nobody, myself included at the moment, bought one of those Taobao tablets. Reading around, I'd say that caution was perhaps the best route.

Way more doers than collectors here. Why don't you buy one Dave?

It's only money. Can't take it with you.

When you stop paying attention to it.

I dont ecpect longer life but I do ecpect it to be larger than life. I would but I'm back in full Jolla boycott until money coming our way.

It's not about money...it's about delivery what you say.

Don't trust Jolla. Don't trust China gray market Jolla. Simply don't want it.

But I do hope that all that wants a tablet get it either via Jolla or fake Jolla in China.
