The Jolla Tablet as a product is the first tablet designed by Jolla running the company's Sailfish OS, a Linux-based OS built around the Mer (a fork of MeeGo) software components. As a project it is the Jolla project with huge contribution by the MeeGo Sailfish community in development, creating, financing, testing, reporting, support and maintenance, illustrated by slogan "People Powered". That shaped the final device. In successfully finished crowdfunding campaign over $2.5 million had been raised from 21,633 backers. After multiple issues with production, financing and schedule a small amount of devices was shipped in autumn 2015, while the company stated in December 2015, that due to lack of necessary components that are not available any longer the production was stopped and the remaining backers should receive a full refund. As of 23 December 2016, Jolla has still not provided a timeline to fully refund backers, stating "we will commence with that [refund] as our financial situation allows."
On the 5 March 2015, on the last day of Mobile World Congress 2015, the Jolla Tablet running with Sailfish OS 2.0, the not yet released prototype, was awarded with "The Best Tablet of the whole event" prize by Trusted Reviews. The project was unveiled and introduced during the congress for the first time publicly. It was introduction of both: the new OS and the new product.
The tablet was designed to be a host running Sailfish OS 2.0 by Jolla. This allowed and caused significant development and major updates based on predecessor the Sailfish OS 1.0. Fixes and upgrades counted in dozens of thousands, including :
The new version 2.0 for the tablet was published at November 2015.
Built-in Android compatibility layer of Alien Dalvik allows the usage of software in an emulated Android environment on a Jolla Tablet, without changes to the software nor performance slow-down, as Sailfish OS and Android both use the Linux kernel. Sailfish OS multitasking capabilities allows user switching between software, both native and emulated, running together at the same time on the fly.
