Jolla Roadmapping Meeting - Friday 16.01.2015
Thank you for your contribution to the Jolla Tablet project!
We receive a lot of ideas and suggestions, which we are grateful for, but all of them can't be implemented. We've reviewed your idea and unfortunately it is not something we can implement, at least right now.
However, we will keep all suggestions, and might revisit this decision in the future if we see an opportunity to implement this feature-request in an upcoming product/SW release.
Best regards,
The Jolla Tablet Team
+1, and fully possible, I think. Forbes tells us that Type-C will launch before the end of the year and mass adoption should begin as soon as early 2015. I believe that it'll be the time of Jolla Tablet too!

tag to this?Type-C is more expensive, but it could double as a AV interface.

avhakola ( 2014-11-19 13:36:49 +0300 )editWhat do you mean by double as a AV interface? Comment instead of answering?
jouhisorsa ( 2014-11-19 13:42:38 +0300 )editSorry, I meant to comment, not answer. TYPE-C has an optional feature to double as a display port, needs TYPE-C to DP adapter and HW&SW support in the device of course.
Pornis ( 2014-11-19 13:55:21 +0300 )editThis was the second thing i noticed when I read the specs (first thing was the battery). USB 3.1 Type C will be the best connector for such a device in the near future, so Jolla lets make use of it!
GML ( 2014-11-19 15:37:46 +0300 )editGood information on the benefits of USB-C:

Milhouse ( 2014-11-19 17:01:03 +0300 )editIt can also support an MHL interface with the recent spec addition: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2848654/mobile-4k-video-getting-wired-to-tvs-through-usb-31-mhl.html
