Well, I have to admit I have not been keeping up with the Raspberry Pi world. I think I remember hearing that someone was working on porting Sailfish to the Pi; but they've gotten a bit further than I'd thought. Here's a guy who's cobbled together a Pi, a battery, a touchscreen, and Sailfish 1.1.9.28:

I have to admit, given that I now expect it'll be some months before I personally receive a Jolla tablet (and the phone just doesn't exist here), this is looking like an appealing way to come up with a usable Sailfish device (even if it looks like a frankenstein's monster
).
So, anyone here have any experience running Sailfish on a Pi?
Here are some more links on this Pi "tablet":

EDIT: Some images of this monster:
EDIT 2: BTW, the video shows Sailfish running on a Pi connected to a touchscreen, but not this particular battery-powered Pi...
Here's a video of the actual "tablet" in action. Even better, it's being used to control an LED via the Pi's GPIO pins from a Python script running under Sailfish...
