I dunno what on earth you're talking about. I doubt OpenGL (proper) drivers exist for this chipset for any OS, and they certainly won't for Android. The device will almost certainly use Android display drivers ... so where are you getting this from? Also, of course they HAVE to have cross compatibility with the phone. It's the same OS, with different scaling options / UI. Also, do you seriously think any prospective developer is going to port their OpenGL ES based apps to Sailfish, if Jolla made the barmy decision to switch to OpenGL? Besides, what possible advantage would there be? ES is tailored specifically to the mobile space and to be less complex and more efficient.

How do 64bit or it being Intel have anything to do with this? Address space means nothing. If you think it somehow makes it more powerful, well the CPU side is going to be a lot weaker than any quad core A57 chip (which will predominate by the time it's released) and is similar to a Snapdragon 805 / a bit slower than chips popping up now based on A53 cores, and this is the case even though the Z3580 present in the N1 and (presumably Jolla) is the fastest SKU. As for the PowerVR GPU, it is comparable to the plethora of PowerVR designs in ARM SoCs now.

Also, to all the people who think it will have an Intel in-house GPU ... how? There are no in-house Intel GPU designs for Intel's tablet / phone chips. Nor will there be for the forseeable future.

Before I bought my first N900, I went through a tablet phase. The only one I had was a cheap 7" Android affair from China. It was quite a sorry affair and almost made me lose faith in portable technology altogether that eventually the N900 cured.

BUT... It was easily hackable and some kind soul made a Debian image for it. It ran fine and, to answer your question, detected the touch screen as a mouse, no problem there.

The main problem and the reason I stopped using it was the size. 7" is too big to be portable and too small to use as stationary. So no, thanks, no Jolla tablet for me. I already have a Jolla tablet. It's called JP-1301.

QtCreator will be much more pleasant on 8 inches

but less pleasant than on 19 inches, with a proper keyboard and mouse. Maybe I would find some use for the middle ground if I spent a lot of time on the train. But I don't.

Will it make it a Million Dollar today?

It won't make ONE MILLION DOLLARS *raises pinky to mouth* unless Jolla adds another perk or people somehow start contributing way more than $224 per person.

Last I checked there were only 410 yet to claim and 410 x $224 = $91840. That added with the total collected sum of $800 000+ won't even reach $900 000.

If I'm reading this right, the Indiegogo "campaign" will last until December 9th. I don't see them facing any other limitation to sales. Presumably, they will continue to keep adding more batches of perks until they run out of time...
