The Finnish company Jolla has announced that its first tablet with Sailfish OS, which was originally scheduled to launch in June, delay your departure until the end of July. This is bad news for those who have been waiting for a long time since they started their journey on Indiegogo, but it is not all negative. The reasons are weighty and will benefit the experience of the tablet that is presented as one of the options to big surprises of 2015 after the great expectation that it has generated with its double crowdfunding campaign.
The first of the factors that has led to this change of date is that Jolla has decided at the last minute mount a different screen to the one I had originally planned. The new panel offers an improved color spectrum and better balance which will help improve the display of content. Of course, this has disrupted the production plan of the tablet that has to be remade from the beginning by introducing the new panels.
The second factor has to do with the software plan and not with a software modification. The Sailfish OS 2.0 development, second stable version of the operating system, which among other things must introduce the real multi-tasking with multi-window, It is not at the expected speed and they simply do not arrive in time for June. As they say in these cases, it is better to fix everything before launch to avoid that the first to try the Jolla tablet get a bad impression and the criticism begins to rain on them.
In any case, if you are one of those who cannot wait to finally try the first tablet of the former Finnish Nokia, you will be interested to know that they plan to open a developer program of applications that will give early access to the device.
