The N900 unmounted the SD card automatically if you removed the back cover. It had a magnetic sensor for that purpose.
Jolla also has a sensor detecting that the back cover (also known as The Other Half) has been removed. Why not using it?
I for example don't know about any third party developer actually getting one.

A bit off-topic, but asking anyway out of curiosity while waiting for my tablet:
How complete are the libraries and general purpose development tools provided with the tablet (or within reach from accessible repos)?
I mean, can we compile C/C++ and Gtk stuff on the tablet itself to get productivity tools like Inkscape, Libreoffice, Gimp or MyPaint up running on the tablet? Firefox? Thunderbird?
If so, is it possible to attach a mouse and have a cursor for input on the screen and use those programs as on a desktop?
Moreover, has anyone succeeded in making precompiled x86 code running on the tablet? I am thinking along the lines of Skype or Spotify...
Any success with emulators or even better, virtualizers like Virtualbox?
The chipset and hardware should be fairly "standard" to the Linux ecosystem, so my guess is that programs like these should work without too much trouble, given that they can be compiled and put on the tablet, right?

Not sure if hrabal was trolling or art, zogg on the other hand
I would really like to know how that developer device program went - I for example don't know about any third party developer actually getting one. There were some theories those hypothetical developers were under some sort of NDA but it rather looks like no third party developers got them.

What I'm pretty sure that those "developer program" tablets were sent for review for bloggers. At least we've seen more of those mentioning those units than any popular dev here or on twitter (and how many popular jolla devs we have, especially that are not from here?). So yeah, community powered tablet but sales driven development
I remember to have read on Jolla's Twitter acc or in the comments of Jolla's blog that Dirkvl got invited to the developer loan program and he also made some pictures with a Tablet for his carbon fiber case campaign so there should be some third party developers who got a Jolla Tablet.

Great question, seeing as XWayland went nowhere with the phone, maybe we lost all talent (seeing the amount of trolling on the board vs contructive criticism, doesn't sound too far fetched). For gkt and all other goodies we probably need weston. Will weston+gtk3(already waylanded supposedly, but again, lipstick vs weston) happen and we can run debian apps straight on the tablet? Remains to be seen, if we manage would be glorious (then again, not good for Jolla's ecosystem, but oh well)
edit: Oh and btw (also for those looking for specific use not handled by others), QtCreator works on jolla phone, so should work on the tablet (and probably useable at that), so yeah, c/c++ is a go (already is), now show me android device running eclipse

Hmm... would you say that Qt based apps should be easier to get going or would that apply only to recent Qt5 code that can render on Wayland? Apart from Skype and Spotify, KDE and Qt apps like Marble, Krita, Clementine, QGIS, Konqueror, Kontact, Gwenview and Digikam would also be fantastic on the tablet.
Sigh, why is it that mobile hardware capable of running standard Linux applications is still such a pipe dream? Multitouch killed the X11 star?
I have been a bit undecided about Gnome 3 but I could see it fit on a tablet like this and actually have a fairly nice in-between interface on a device which would sometimes be used as tablet and sometimes as a laptop with some external peripherals.
