Since the tablet will have an x86 processor, it would be convenient to be able to hook it up with keyboard and mouse, and use a desktop linux distribution, in case of emergency or while travelling. All things needed would be hooking up a usb hub, with pendrive, keyboard and mouse, and reboot to desktop. probably, the distro would need some work to be usable, but that should be Jolla concern, only having a bootloader for usb or sd card would be.

Yeah, it should really be able to boot at least from the uSD card - that will make life much easier for alternative distro developers! :)

@MartinK, well, even for sailfish developers, actually... a beta release could be released as a bootable image, and applications could be tested with different os versions.

@mikelima That's a very good point! :)

@kaelaqua This is not an answer, it's a comment. You should convert it.
