Earlier this morning we told you about the new Jolla Tablet with Sailfish OS 2.0. The team from Jolla is funding their device using the crowd funding website IndieGogo.
The project only launched on IndieGogo a few hours ago, and the Jolla Tablet needed to raise $380,000 to put the device into production. The goal has now been met, and the company has already raised more than $400,000 for their project at the time of writing.
Jolla Tablet Pricing and Availability
The tablet was initially available for $189 for the first 1000 people. Those units have all been claimed, and the next price point of $199 is almost gone as well, with close to 900 people having signed up for the next option. This rapid uptake indicates a strong interest in the Jolla Tablet, which is likely due to its unique features and the reputation of the Sailfish OS.
Features and Specifications
The Jolla Tablet comes with a 7.85-inch display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, which provides a crisp and clear viewing experience. It is powered by a 64-bit 1.8GHz quad-core Intel processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM. This combination ensures smooth performance for multitasking and running various applications.
The tablet also includes 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot, allowing users to store more apps, photos, and videos. The device features a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, making it suitable for both photography and video calls.
One of the standout features of the Jolla Tablet is its operating system, Sailfish OS 2.0. This OS is known for its smooth user interface and gesture-based navigation, which provides a unique and intuitive user experience. Additionally, Sailfish OS is compatible with Android apps, giving users access to a wide range of applications.
Community and Future Prospects
The success of the Jolla Tablet on IndieGogo is a testament to the strong community support behind the project. The campaign still has 21 days to go, so it could end up being a very popular device. The community-driven approach not only helps in raising funds but also in gathering valuable feedback from early adopters, which can be used to improve the device further.
Moreover, the Jolla Tablet’s success could pave the way for future devices running Sailfish OS, potentially expanding the ecosystem and offering more choices to consumers who are looking for alternatives to mainstream operating systems like iOS and Android.
The Jolla Tablet with Sailfish OS 2.0 is off to a promising start on IndieGogo. With its competitive pricing, robust features, and strong community backing, it is poised to become a popular choice among tech enthusiasts. You can find out more details about the device at the link below.
