I was thinking the same but with more information: bus timetables for the nearby stations, family calendar etc. visible at the same time. Should be fairly easy to do with active covers.

suppose they were careful with ETA May 2015, but seen the funding goal has been reached on day 1, there is no excuse not to ship the first 2000 before white Xmas, is there?

I really want to want one, I love using my Jolla phone.

As it stands though, I have a Surface Pro which completely satisfies all my needs from a PC, while giving me the portability to be able to type this in bed (on a far bigger screen).

Perfect for Jolla users with a desktop. Tablets are brilliant - believe the hype - but this one's not for me. Guess I'll stick to pledging $10 to get my name on a list.

I know your comment is tongue in cheek, but the funding goal is fairly meaningless. They will have been aiming for 5x the goal and perhaps hoping for 10x. It's just a pre-order campaign.

Somebody please help me find an excuse.
-> It will prevent you from finding an excuse to buy an Android tablet during the next 6 - 7 months
-> people in public places will admire your display of personality
-> it's so called hackable, may contribute to extended life cycle (fair tablet)
-> it has a well balanced size vs resolution
-> you may profit by selling your "first one" on eBay at double price during the "put your tracking number vs order number in spreadsheet" hype days.
-> there are already over 1 thousand orders so the number of Sailfish devices out there will certainly have doubled by 2nd half 2015 probably resulting in more community efforts
-> it has great sound, battery life, USB connector fitting, will not bend... o h wait...

Hope it is better than my current set up. lol

Very happy to support Jolla. Just paid the $204.

Completely uninteresting & not worth the money to me, but because I want to help them out, I'll prolly donate $10USD.
Would've been more excited if they'd announced a major hw partner who's releasing a tablet (or ph), plus they'd successfully secured a new round of funding.
But, they're doing what they can, kudos to them for that I guess...

The OEM for the Jolla tablet might have some something to object about it.

So after that really successful crowd funded tablet, let's crowdfund a Jalla phone spare battery.
