Jolla Launches Tablet With Sailfish OS 2.0

[KellyClowers]

Tablet and Atom. Welp, this is useless to me

[Ancurio]

freedesktop.org .desktop files and rpm packaging for apps? That's some pretty cool shit right there. Oh and SDL2 as an officially supported gaming API, awesome.

If it's an Intel GPU then i will buy it, but if it's an PowerVR i wouldn't be interested at all.
I hope that there will be an official statement about the GPU.

I really hope Imagination is reading these forums. If they do, they should hang their legal department. Closed drivers and dickhead attitude won't help anyone.

ParkerR Question: how open is the Jolla tablet to alternate OS installs? (Since it is basically just a laptop) 03:58

JayBusch ParkerR: Good question. But why would you want to run anything else? 07:36
situ ParkerR: I expect it to be hackable, so it should be able to run any OS. 07:37
Stskeeps i hope to make a post about hardware openness on the thing 07:37
Stskeeps i doubt windows will boot, except maybe in a VM 07:37
situ Stskeeps: Any reasons for choosing intel chips ? 07:38
Stskeeps situ: good price point for the GPU capability 07:38
Stskeeps it's not easy to find things at that pricepoint driving 2K displays 07:38
JayBusch Makes sense. Intel has dropped prices dramatically while still performing well enough. 07:39

situ Stskeeps: Has it been tested on arm chips too ? Are you going to make instructions available to port it to other Android tablets ? 07:43
Stskeeps situ: sailfishos as such is quite portable as you know.. 07:44
Stskeeps it's not a different codeline. 07:44
Stskeeps people would rebel if we started having branched sailfishos 07:44
Stskeeps :P 07:44
situ I am just thinking about the compiler errors we get while porting from 32 bit to 64 bit and vice versa :P 07:45
Stskeeps ah.. not going to be an issue 07:45

situ Stskeeps: Are you using any properietary android drivers on this device too ? 07:50
Stskeeps situ: currently that's what it looks like. we need to go for known working and supported. if mesa/kms works, that's another thing 07:53
situ Which android version is it based on ? Jolla phone was 4.1 IIRC. 07:54
JayBusch situ: Probably the same then, especially if they're not about to start branching the code. But this is only a guess. 08:01
situ JayBusch: Ok, I hope details will come out soon which will make things clear. 08:02
JayBusch situ: I do too, but we must be patient.

Soooooo, anyone else remember when Sailfish's Interface was "totally going to be open sourced"?

(It is still closed source)
