Jolla To Launch Sailfish Tablet Against Fleet Of Android Products

There aren’t nearly as many native apps for Sailfish as there are for Android or iOS, but Jolla gets around this by enabling support for some Android apps on Sailfish. Note that the phone also lacks the Google Play Store and other Google Mobile services. Instead you can install Android apps from the Yandex.Store.

Instead of simply letting you flip through cards or thumbnail icons for running apps, Sailfish will let you view live previews of all apps that are running on your device — and let you control apps from that view. For instance you’ll be able to play or pause a video or skip tracks in a music player from the multitasking view without opening the app in full screen mode.

Sailfish also doesn’t require you to push any buttons. The operating system and native Sailfish apps rely on gesture-based navigation which makes it easy to switch apps, view notifications, or perform other actions without hunting for on-screen buttons.

Right now Sailfish is optimized for phones, but Jolla plans to bring tablet support to Sailfish OS 2.0, and the company isn’t just seeking money to help make that happen. They’re also soliciting user input through the user forum at together.jolla.com.
