Jolla in developing a People Powered (= crowd funded) Tablet, aiming for delivery at May 2015. The First 1000 Sailors who contribute to the project can have it for $189, and the next 1000 Early Sailors for $10 more - few are already ordered. Visit indiegogo project web site to participate and read more about this tablet.
By that time, Jolla also announces that Sailfish 2.0 will be ready and will be installed on this device. This might mean that we'll see several updates between now and May 2015 also for the first SailfishOS device - Jolla phone."The Jolla Tablet is currently available in the following countries and regions in this campaign: EU, Norway, Switzerland, United States, India, China, Hong Kong, and Russia. "
Sailfish OS is Linux operating system, mostly OpenSource. It runs Sailfish apps and supports running Android apps as well.

What seems especially nice are the size, thickness and great resolution of 2048x1536 pixels (QXGA). GPU type is yet unknown, but looking at the processor and DDR3 memory, I'd expect the graphic processor to produce nice speed even for this resolution. Remains to be seen
