[Jolla Tablet] Considering hardware requests usefulness [answered]
This post is almost directly from my answer to one of the hardware request, but I thought it might be useful to make it as a separate post:
In an interview with Sami Pienimäki, it was told that the Jolla tablets hardware can not be altered anymore, it is the software-side they receive peoples requests for. I think we shouldn't clog up TJC with wishes considering tablets hardware, as the specs are not changeable according to this interview with Pienimäki.
Link for the interview, unfortunately in finnish: http://www.iltasanomat.fi/digi/art-1288774669985.html
Straight quote: "Pienimäen mukaan laitteiston kokoonpanoon ei voi vaikuttaa, mutta yhtiö ottaa vastaan toivomuksia laitteen ohjelmiston kehityksestä sekä siitä, mitä laitteen tekniset ominaisuudet otetaan käyttöön."
In short, hardware cannot be altered, but company receives wishes considering software development and how tablets technical capabilities are used.
Edit: Jolla should make this fact clear in their TJC post, like the comments suggest.
Edit 2: Stefano Mosconi gave an answer to this question that there is still a slight chance of making hardware alterations, so the HW discussion isn't completely off the table. Still, I wait for the official clarification concerning this matter.
If this is the case, which seems reasonable considered time to market, then I think it should explicitly say so in https://together.jolla.com/question/63498/the-jolla-tablet-we-make-it-you-make-it-yours/ As of now the request for feedback says nothing on whether or not hardware requests will be considered.
