I don't know, but I have an even older (and uglier...) video of the SDK image running on an x86 tablet-PC, without much modifications there:

So on, the 4 August of 2013, Sailfish OS was already able to cope with a native display resolution of 1366*768 without alignment issues or swipes out of the way. Not tested with an higher resolution, and did not checked at the pixel level (for images by example).

However, this is unrelated to the need to adapt applications to be able able to show more contents on a tablet, as it is here only a zoomed in version of the phone, not more.


So yes, it is a good questions to what are the changes they have done regarding dependency to resolution (not trolling here, just being curious).

Look who's talking.

Maybe Dave has just been taking the wrong half?

From what I've heard and the precious few images I've seen, that is exactly the case with SFOS on the tablet

Any examples? So far, it's not been the case that I've seen.

So isn't sw for tablet irrelevant given that almost no tablets exists, no tablet venders use it and code Isnt fully open source. So yeah, we can install it but with LOTs of issues...We could do the same with sail 1 as stskeeps sail with lots of tricks?

I'm sure Jolla will try to get some tablet vendors to produce tablets with Sailfish OS. It remains to be seen how long it takes.

And if we are very lucky they announce this week a tablet vendor partner for Sailfish OS and give us vouchers to buy coming Sailfish OS tablet

You've removed my smiley indicating that my post was not entirely serious but if you really insist...

Of course, de gustibus non est disputandum. Some people's "looks like crap" may be other people's "most beatiful thing since Snow White".

Sounds good to me as long as its named jPad.

Actually... nothing of the sort. I tend to remove smileys from my quoted posts usually. It's a very bad habit but one I tend to do while viewing on desktop. While on mobile, I can't be arsed to do so.

And thanks for the examples. I didn't really get the gist of what you meant but now I do. I agree, the system update system looks horrible in landscape but elsewhere I've seen it in portrait and it's fine. It shouldn't look that awkward... but it does.
