N9 and N950 were used as developer devices for Sailfish, but for legal reasons Jolla could not officially support Sailfish on those devices.

IIRC that was because they would have had to ship binary blobs of copyrighted software that belonged to Nokia and they didn't have a licence to do that. It wasn't because of trade dress restrictions.

It's not the case when they're bunging their software with libhybris over a Cyanogen/AOSP base.

(as an aside - Sony just released Marshmallow AOSP for the as yet to ship Z5 & Z5 compact. Now that would be a cool device to see with Sailfish)

Now, this is a nice lengthy and balanced review by Deborah Campbell for argyllfreepress.com

multitasking is smooth, there’s close to no lag at all when juggling between apps and it can handle most games (albeit limited to what the store has to offer).

The OS overall has a very stylish look that is at least up to par with the looks of iOS and Android’s Material Design.

Unless you’re an appholic and think you can live with some optimization issues here and there for the time being, the Jolla Tablet is worth a try.

Got my Tablet today

Unfortunately I have problems with the battery, it charges to 100% but when I disconnect the charger it says immediately 49%. Battery resistance test fails also

Anyone with similar Problems?

gPodder has been there from the beginning as a Python-only app that runs on any architecture. gPodder is not missing on the tablet.

And sftp/scp is available on the command line.

The requirement is in the qemu-system-i386 binary from the openSUSE repos.

If they need to bundle binary blobs needed for the HW to work, they would need to license that also. It has been restrictive even with Jolla phone (hence, no flashable images).

You are a rock! Thank you.

Edit: man, that background sound. I can't really handle that in my ears. Just want to turn it off. Love the video, though.
