Reto, thank you for the clarification. Stated like you did, I agree, there is not much use in the SDK without the tablet.
But I did not expect this to be a problem -- all in all, the emulator just runs SailfishOS in a virtual machine, with a specific screen aspect ratio. I thought you would supply whatever working version of SailfishOS 2 with a different screen layout. The current emulator already runs x586 code, so I did not think there would complications.
