Run desktop apps on Jolla Tablet
With a big screen, powerful CPU and Linux the tablet is almost like a computer. It would be great if I could connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and be able to use desktop apps on the device!
Traditionally tablets are devices that are meant just for consuming content. This would enable people to also create content. Let's say you're on a long flight or train ride, or you just need to do some last minute changes to a spreadsheet... this would make it possible.
Please add ideas about how to best do it in the comments. Dual boot? Desktop mode? Just some libraries?
desktop mode and docking station

virgi26 ( 2014-11-19 12:17:34 +0200 )editFor UI apps desktop mode and docking station would be preferred. Depending on the desktop app the 2G RAM won't go too far unfortunately.

Two votes for docking station already :o What kind of docking station are you thinking about and why? I'm kind of surprised about that. Do you mean like a kickstand or something? An actual dock isn't very mobile...

I've seen various options for docking stations in the past.
When traveling by train or plane I'd probably prefer (2) esp. if an additional battery is included. In case of presentations and for home/office I'd probably prefer (1).
