I think you'll really like the tablet. Lots of cool software already, the selection on the Jolla store doesn't do it justice - a lot of the best stuff is actually at https://openrepos.net/ because of Jolla's packaging requirements (no daemons, no extra libs installed outside of the app directory etc.).
I was pleasantly surprised to find an excellent open source pebble daemon (link) on there. It has a nice GUI for configuration, can load and unload apps from the pebble, forward all notifications, even lets you control music apps that support the MPRIS DBus interface (like Sirensong) from the watch. Basically, it does everything the official Pebble app for Android does, and it's open source to boot. Clever devs!
I expected to need the Android support, but I haven't installed it yet. So far, there has been a high quality native app for everything I need. The one thing I think I might install it for is a banking app, but that's it.
They've done a really good job so far, I hope they can keep it up.
BTW, on the first day I had a hiccup when updating Sailfish to a newer version. Device booted but no UI. To get to recovery, you just hold volume down during boot and plug it in to a computer with a USB cable. It appears as an ethernet device, network manager auto-connects... telnet to it to get a simple menu, 30 seconds later I've reset it and no more problems. That was a BTRFS snapshot - you win! Lol.
