Jolla, the Finnish mobile developer formed by ex-Nokia employees, presents its take on tablets-- the Jolla Tablet, a 7.9-inch device claiming to offer "the world’s best, state of the art multitasking experience."
It is powered by an Intel 64-bit 1.8GHz quad-core CPU, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage (expandable via SD slot) and a 4300mAh battery. The display handles 2048 x 1536 resolution, while connectivity comes via wifi. In other words, it is fairly similar to the recently announced Nokia N1.
Differing the Jolla Tablet from other devices is Sailfish, Jolla's MeeGo-based open source OS. According to the company the OS features an innovative multitasking view showing all running apps on a single view, and users can control individual apps directly from the multitasking view without need to open them in full.
The OS also runs Android apps, and Jolla promises it has no backdoors or means for 3rd parties to monitor user activity.
The Jolla Tablet is currently available on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform, where it already amassed around 2400 preorders. Once the campaign is over the actual tablet should ship from May 2015.
