Crowd Sourced Specification

Since the new Jolla Tablet has been announced not unsurprisingly there have been a lot of comments about the hardware. As Jolla isn't a hardware company as such rather their hardware is vehicle to show off their OS please review the below.

This is my suggestion for the next phone/tablet Jolla crowd source the physical specification. We are a community of geeks whose interests vary in both topic and depth. Some may request the integration of a novel technology others might be able to suggest a better screen technology. These can range from the battery to processor, features like 4G LTE and wifi, USB 3.1 etc. Some people are system builders and enjoy putting all these things together into a package.

Some examples where this could already be drawn from:

The resultant product in my view would need to be scalable thus to be able to conform to both the phone and tablet form factors. This would leave Jolla managing the specification rather than defining it.

While should Jolla choose to take a step in this direction (it is asked the community to do a lot of work) they would need to publish a specification including price point, dimensions and key features/technologies.

I would suggest that a proposed feature request take the form (albeit with some refinement):

  • Synopsis - A brief description of what it is, does and how it works.

  • Key features

  • Pros and Cons list

  • Price point

  • Alternative options

  • Vendors list

Feel free to add your thoughts about J3 - a smaller phone.

Hopefully all those thoughts will lead to a real phone next year.

It is probably too late to crowdsource the J2 hardware by now.
