Not from Jolla but here is the publicly available information:

• At MWC Sailfish was demonstrated on a Nexus 4, a Nexus 7, a Galaxy SIII, an Idol X and a Xiaomi
• Current state of the Mer libybris adaptations (upon which Sailfish runs on Android devices can be found here.
• In #sailfishos on Freenode it was stated that the Sailors were hoping to get developer images out to early adopters who can help with the porting effort very soon, and that images would be available for general consumption hopefully before the end of H1 this year.
• I'm not sure that any of these can be 'officially' supported but I would imagine they'd be community supported much in the same way as CM/AOKP and other community-driven OS ports/builds

I spotted this just now;

It would seem that there is no 'support' for any model of phone just yet, but the article above covers the Nexus 4 and openly divulges that the ROMS are watermarked, not fully functional/experimental.

I've just been given a Samsung Galaxy S2 (had to repair USB board, done for £7), but I'm hoping to see Sailfish for SII.

Nexus 7.

TBH i don't think the way you use a jolla phone can be applied to a tablet. They will probably need to change stuff.
