Project 5 · Tablet (hardware)
JTab, the kosher tablet at a low price
A tablet designed for study and prayer: with no means of communication, no camera, and all the JewishApp apps preinstalled. Target: about $100, at cost price.
Idea — looking for helping hands
Less is more
No browser, no social media, no camera: JTab only does what it is made for. No need for power, but a large screen and lots of storage for the whole JTorah library.
It will include JTime, JMiniSiddour, JTorah and future JewishApp apps. Content will be updated with codes, in specialised shops.
