I hand over my last SailfishOS device. It is a tablet made of parts from the 'bankruptcy estate' of the tablet project Jollas, which was once sold by Taobao as "Jolla" Tablets - so not an official one but an Aigo x86 tablet. In addition there is a foldable Lastu case made of leather/wood. It is running the current SailFishOS 3 release.

If you are interested, please contact me.

so, i had a jolla 1 since 2014 and my xa2 plus since 2018. i always wanted the jolla tablet, even went to the indigogo in the first hour, but i just never had the money to actually support it there or buy one later on ebay :(

by now i have another 2 jolla 1 phones because i hope to exchange them with other people for devices that i dont have yet. to make my collection more complete.

as a little bonus ill promise to finish my first sailfish app if i get the tablet :) then i can also test it right aways on the tablet as well.

also: im in germany as well. so, lower shipping costs...

if you pick me you could write me at: 1vsjc@posteo.de

Okay, that's more than I expected. I will decide after the best and most enthusiastic story, WHY and WHAT FOR you want it for. I'll give it to you for free and make decisions at the end of the week.

I can assure you that i will take good care of it and will pay for any costs you'll have. I always wanted to have a Jolla Tablet and it would be a dream come true. Just to let you know i am so tired of Android and Ios that i just bought a Jolla 1 and an Intex Aqua fish besides having an Xperia X :)

I have family near you and can pick it up They live in Singen Hohentwiel and i believe it is easy to get it ;)

PS: Besides my dream of having a Jolla Tablet or an Aigo X86 i am willing to donate to a cousin of mine that is fighting against cancer. I know it is one of his dreams having a tablet that runs Sailfish. I bought Jolla 1 and Aquafish to offer him. If by any chance i'll have your tablet i will make a 3 in 1 and i believe i will fulfill one of his, who knows, last dreams :(

I did pre-order a tablet back in the day, but unfortunately was not in the first (only) batch.

As the developer of Quickddit my plan was to explore the UI options a tablet with more screen real-estate would give, like 2-column browsing, subreddit list as inset column etc.

As there are now so few tablet users, and probably even less tablet Quickddit users (on OpenRepos the amount of i486 downloads can be counted on one hand) I'm not sure how useful it would be, but if Jolla decides to support a tablet in the future it would definately come in handy :)

I would also be very interested, if you can't reach an agreement with deutch. Email: nicolas.werner@hotmail.de

Edit: Story

I don't really have a good history with Sailfish tablets. I backed the original Jolla tablet, but didn't get one. Then I backed the Youyota campaign, which is its own story of failure. I only learned from your post, that the Aigo x86 actually is almost the same device, so that gave me hope, that I may finally get a chance for a Sailfish tablet. (Even if I don't get yours, I may be able to get my hands on a different Aigo). A non Sailfish device is not really an option for me, since I'm used to the gestures since the N9, had one of the early Jolla 1s, gifted my little sister one and am now using an X compact. An iOS device wouldn't work that well with my Linux infrastructure and automated backups and I prefer to avoid Android devices, because of lock in, support and I don't really know, what Google does with my data. I've just been happy with Sailfish (and Meego/Harmattan before that) so far and see no reason to change.

I actually want to use the tablet for my studies, as I much prefer reading from a screen, than having to carry a bundle of paper, that can't be searched and you have to print every week. I also often admin my servers from my phone, but a bigger screen and keyboard could certainly be helpful at times. I also recently started developing a Matrix client for Sailfish (based on the mtxclient library, which I am now one of the main developers of). Looking how my app scales to different screen sizes would certainly be interesting (altough I may be able to make do with the emulator) and I found that compiling x86 rpms is a lot faster than compiling for arm, probably because it doesn't have to use qemu. This is fine, when you can use gcc4.9 as shipped by the SDK, because that is one of the "accelerated" binaries (doesn't have to use qemu), but if you use a custom built gcc, that doesn't work and some source files take up to 5 minutes to compile in that case (yay for boost). Having a real x86 device would help a lot in that case, since typing in the emulator and other interactions are a bit awkward. I'd stick to gcc4.9, but it seems like Boost.Asio doesn't play that nice with it, altough I'm still investigating those performance issues.

All that said, receiving the tablet for free would be a bit awkward. In that case giving it to a developer, that actually shipped a good application (like a accumulator) or who contributed a lot to the community (like the other guys that answered) would be a better choice in my opinion, but its your choice.

Did you sell it, or do you still own it?
