Many photographers/videographers are looking for a tablet with a HDMI-in connection so they can use their tablet as a field monitor. It is already partially possible with android devices and canon-camera's using WIFI, but the frame rate is painstakingly low. Having a HDMI-in would solve that problem. Just google "tablet with HDMI-in" or "tablet as monitor" to see what a demand there is for HDMI-in. A whole community would be at your feet with such a function.

Would be a nice feature to have :D

Would be even better if it worked both ways, so besides using it as a field monitor you could simply plug a big screen to the tablet and watch your pictures and movies there while chilling at your living room.

Ow, yeah, absoutely. Both ways would be absolutely brilliant. Many tablets already have HDMI-out, but none have HDMI-in. But like you said, having both would be amazing.

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
