“We didn’t know what to expect when we launched, and it was such an incredible surprise when we raised the $150,000 so quickly. “That was such an exciting night for all of us,” says Yumeng Cheng, Head of Branding at Jingling. When JingPad launched on Indiegogo earlier this year, it raised just under $150,000 in just 15 minutes, validating the market for a consumer-grade Linux tablet.

Jingling recently launched their first Linux tablet on Indiegogo, the Jingpad A1, which raised nearly $150,000 in a matter of minutes, proving the deep market for Linux-based tablets. Jingling is on a mission to change the tablet landscape by offering a third option - a consumer-grade Linux tablet - that makes no compromises. So, if tablets are so handy, why do consumers only have a choice between iOS and Android operating systems?
