Mobile devices
- Youyota Tablet - Crowdsourced campaign started on July 5, 2017 to produce Sailfish OS powered copy of Jolla Tablet under new brand "Youyota". With slightly better battery capacity and new color red for 64GB model, all other HW being exactly the same, this tablet is pushed for production by community member "Chenliang Chen" and his partner "Michael Du" via Indiegogo.
- The project has reached its financial goal, and tablets are expected to be shipped in the first half of December 2017, four months late from the original schedule. Of course, possible delays are quite common in crowdsourced projects, but at least this project is not dependent on any design related issues, hardware and software already being tested earlier.
- The campaigners updates information here. - Lumo video security phone
- 16.5.2017 Oulumo and Jolla announced co-operation to develop next generation video carephone. Find more at blog.jolla.com/oulumo - Devices- Page lists already available models, past models, officially and unofficially supported models (unofficials limited to the most functional ports) and rumors about other models
Accessories
- Related to the Indiegogo campaign by Youyota (see above), the perks in the campaign include Youyota branded sleeve, Bluetooth keyboard and a Protection Cover supporting attachment of the keyboard with magnets. These accessories would fit for both Youyota and Jolla Tablet
- Since Jolla is currently purely focused on software, there are no new accessories expected from them for any of the Sailfish OS devices. Community projects and other 3rd party projects are, however, still possible
