The Jolla Tablet is the First of Its Kind to be Crowdsourced
Meghan Young — November 25, 2014 — Tech
Apple might seem to have a hold over the tech industry, but the Jolla Tablet is giving the iPad a run for its money. The first of its kind to be crowdsourced, the Jolla Tablet has already far surpassed its original goal of $380,000 with $1,225,753 and counting. There is no wondering why that is the case as well.
The Jolla Tablet is being touted as "the best multitasking on pretty much any device that's available in the world," as written on Indiegogo. Operating on the unique and independent Sailfish operating system, it is capable of showing all the running apps conveniently in one single view. This is a feature that the iPad is sorely lacking. The overall design of the Jolla Tablet is just as appealing as the iPad as well.
