let us play with the mind. Jolla is well known for his concept with the otherhalf. As we could see currently, it seems that the tablet don't go on the same direction. why not? I have seen that some people are not satisfied with the presented feature of it. what do you think if this concept of otherhalf comes to the tablet and give the possibilities for some people to become the part what they missed. for example maybe the otherhalf could bring more battery or 3g chip, zigbee chip, an other display as e-ink, or an other camera for 3d pictures, or simply a keyboard,... and so on...

for my part i think it is a little bit sad that this concept of otherhalf is not on the tablet...

What do you think about it? which one part could interest you?

could you please explain why you give me this link? I don't read in your mind, and I think my idea is a good idea. i don't know if it's possible to do it. the people who have overview of all, are the design people and the developers, because they know the difficulties and their roadmap. simply give a link which speak about a codex, don't explain the problem. you are a civilized man don't you?

@simo or @attah: seems to be that i can't give the thread as duplicate accepted, because your reactions were as remarks and not as answers. am i right? i try to convert your response as answer and make it as accepted... I can't... could you please convert it as answer?

@cemoi No need to, as @attah found the duplicate already and this is closed the right way. My earlier comment was to point you / someone to search for one, as I had seen that but didn't have time to search it back then. Anyway, all right here :)

I think the biggest current downside of the "other half" is that it is designed to be the back side of a particular phone. Not only does this mean that existing TOHs won't fit on a tablet, it also severely constrains the size and shape of any future TOH-compatible phones.

To my mind, what would be much nicer would be to migrate the TOH concept to something more like an "expansion card". Something big enough to make a variety of devices feasible, but small enough to fit into the case of a small phone. With this, the same TOH hardware could be slotted into all sizes of mobile device...

i see what you mean. you seems to take think exactly how they are... so the concept of otherhalf for the tablet, and just for the tablet will be called TheBigOtherHalf to differentiate with theothehalf of the phone. please expend your mind

Hmm, I think my idea kind of overlaps with yours, so it's probably best to keep it as an alternative to your suggestion. Either type of TOH would be nice to have. :)

after that i have seen here link provided von cybette. Tablet hardware could not be altered anymore... :-( so your solution could be more accessible...
