[SailfishDevel] Introducing the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program (Pilot)

[Michele Tameni]

As many other of us I backed the tablet, and now I'm curious if the early
access to the SDK will be limited to the developer in the program or will
be opened up to every one?
I will like to have the ability to check and port my apps to the new
devices before it will be in the hand of the many backers, and as the
delivery should be in July having the SDK in June seems good even if we
have to wait the tablet outside the developer program.
Thankyou
Michele
