Many many tablets later!

And 460% of the original 380K goal, of course.

A lot of tablet news have been dominating JollaUsers.com lately, and if you think about it, it’s kinda the right thing to happen. Not much phone news lately and to be honest, nothing for the past 3 years has been hotter than the tablet news since it has been an unexpected success from the very first day when they surpassed their first $380,000 goal while the team still being located at Slush where they announced the product.

As we all know Jolla has seen the unexpected excitement around its tablet and used the opportunity to ask the community for more, in exchange of more features such as High Capacity SD card support up to 128GB which has been achieved a few days back by raising the backing amount up to $1.5 million, and as you’re aware, the next goal was indeed the split screen feature which needed $1.75M. Now, at first I doubted that we would get to the second stretch goal but as predictions were coming out, it happened only about 11 hours till the campaigns end.

We will not have it out of the box, but in a software update, rather:

Split screen allows you to view and use two apps simultaneously, enhancing Sailfish OS’ multitasking capabilities even further. Split screen is the most wanted Jolla Tablet software feature by our community at together.jolla.com, and we’re thrilled to offer it to you as one of the goals! Split screen will be available to you as a software update during Q3/2015.

Now the only goal left is the 3.5G connectivity which will only see the daylight if Jolla decides to extend the campaign.

Massive congratulations to Jolla, the sailors and the community once again for this historical success!

Cheers!
