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

[Zoltán Lutor]

"we will ship a number of loan devices to selected developers by the end of
June" - hmmm...

Tablet was planned to be released in May, some delays already confirmed
(without new target date) and now we see only selected developers will get
early access to the device&SDK "by end of June"...
July is almost no-work-period in Finland thus nothing can be really
expected before Autumn... :-(

Please, prove me wrong! :D
