I think the way Ubuntu has the quick links along the left edge is a bad idea, most people are right handed and will have to stretch their thumb across the screen to the far edge. Imo that will be an irritant. They need to make that user adjustable which is something they don't seem to have done on the desktop.

More of Jolla's gestures seem to be from the right edge or screen centre which is more comfortable. The videos of Sailfish OS also look slick even though it's running on old hardware. To my eye Sailfish OS looks far better than anything currently available.

Hopefully Canonical and/or Jolla will give Pyside a little attention as they're both using Qt.

From what I've seen of Tizen so far it looks just like Android + Touchwiz only slower. Enlightenment is a damn fast desktop and I know there are Python bindings for EFL, I've had a little play with them on Bodhi Linux. I would love to see Python + EFL be offered as an alternative to HTML5 or the Bada API for developing apps for Tizen.

Firefox OS - I want it to succeed but in honesty I think I'd rather have any of the above.

To see Linux based operating systems where Python is only offered as an afterthought, if at all, is rather disappointing, it should be front and centre.

Well you say its complicated yet my cousin who was only 3 was able to use an N9, anybody that got there hands on it, all I ever said was you just need to swipe away, and they instantly picked it up.

Re: Jolla difrerentiation
 

Android has swipe app/how screen. Left right.

N9 has swipe. BlackBerry.

How will jolla make sure their swipe is the best...

Re: Jolla difrerentiation
 

BB10 & Android, even iOS 7 to an extent - these are not implemented the same as Harmattan.

Re: Jolla difrerentiation
 

they are all a bit different. But what I mean is more. what will be Jolla's trademark when it comes to swipe.

I'm not sure n9 swipe is so nice on a bigger screen. Especially swipe down to close.

Re: Jolla difrerentiation
 

I doubt the main draw to Sailfish will be the usage of swipe. It's all about ease of use in the main applications. Think deeper - and you'll see what I mean.

I think people are just stopping at things that interest them. Lumiaman is looking at small parts that may interest him - whereas the majority doesn't seem to enthuse him at all - and you're concentrating on the swipe.

Look at it as a whole OS. And then see where they might be different not only in UI/UX but also in terms of how you actually use and expect a phone to behave.

Swipe is just one part man. The rest, speculation at the moment.

When you don't differentiate...this is what happens:

So... that explains Microsoft. BB is failing due to their own hubris.

Re: Jolla difrerentiation
 

I liked the way you flicked apps off the top of the screen in WebOS. That's a proper close gesture.
