Youyota's new tablet is a carbon copy of the first Jolla Tablet. The company is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo and has already surpassed its initial target of $50,000.
Jolla is on an announcement roll today. The Finnish firm has just announced that the Sony Xperia line of devices will get official support for Sailfish OS by the end of the second quarter.
Jolla has announced a Chinese consortium to help bring its open source OS to the Chinese market similarly to how it did in Russia. Several major Chinese firms have expressed an interest in joining.
The latest Sailfish OS update, codenamed Iijoki, includes support for copy & paste in the browser, VPNs and more. You can get it now if your Jolla account is registered for Early Access.
After describing a new phone with an improbable range of specs that it says will arrive in 2017, Turing has announced details of an even more implausible device: the Monolith Chaconne, due in 2018.
After its last phone suffered months of delays, and unexpectedly switched from Android to Sailfish OS, Turing is now promising a new phone with truly unbelievable specs, supposedly launching in 2017.
A year after announcing plans to license its OS to other manufacturers, Jolla has revealed that the first third-party device running Sailfish is now available, priced at just over $80.
Jolla will ship its last 540 Tablets next month, but "thousands" of other customers will be offered half of their refund this quarter, and the other half in 2017 - "financial situation permitting".
After clawing itself back from the brink of bankruptcy, Jolla has dropped a new bombshell by announcing that not all backers of its crowdfunded Jolla Tablet will actually receive the device.
Things looked bleak for Jolla last month, but the company has managed to secure new funding. However, it says it now plans to reduce costs by focusing its efforts on 'core development' of Sailfish OS.
It looks like Jolla may be in a bit of trouble as it has announced plans to enter a debt restructuring program in Finland. If this wasn't enough, Jolla has also announced "temporary layoffs".
Jolla's crowdfunded Tablet has a Bay Trail processor and promises "the best multitasking experience on the market", and it's now available to pre-order priced from €267 EUR - but supplies are limited.
Jolla has unveiled Sailfish 2.0 with a "totally new and visually refreshed" UI and improved Android app performance, and Sailfish devices are on the way from Jolla's first hardware partner for the OS.
Currently, Jolla is a niche product. Although they have created two popular hardware products, it looks as though Jolla is looking to refocus its efforts on its software business.
In just a few hours Jolla managed to blast past its $380k goal to bring a tablet to the masses that will seriously undercut the big players in the same market, now they want to add more features.
Jolla, the company made up of mainly ex-Nokia folks, has unveiled its new tablet project today and an Indiegogo campaign to go alongside it. The tablet comes with decent specs and is priced at $189.
