Very cool indeed! And yeah, I would guess that at this point, Sailfish is going to be far, far more usable than Nemo.

I do wonder, though, as to the legal status of Sailfish going forward. I was sort of thinking that using the Mer base, and putting something minimal but open on top of it, would be a safer way to proceed...

(And I also have to admit, I'm not a hardware guy. The idea of trying to piece together a tablet of my own using RPi parts seems downright frightening. But yeah, I should probably try it out eventually...)
