Please coordinate with Tim Samoff who is organizing maemo's coordination efforts with Jolla at the moment. Also, please note that we are currently working through a formal non-disclosure agreement with Jolla which may get us information that may not be available publicly.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

I brushed the questions a bit. There are some new answers from Stskeeps there. Those without answers can be sent to Jolla I guess.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

Fair point, I have contacted him (CC'd a few others) to see where to from here, TY.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

I PM'd timsamoff, stskeeps, & the two main document co-editors approx 31hrs ago...
I'm finished with this, hopefully others will step-up & formally present it on behalf of the community.
Personally I think it's best that it comes from someone on the Council or BoD....
I take-off for work related stuff in about 48hrs & then on to the longest leave I've taken in years.
I suspect the Council/BoD have too much on their plate atm, & so can't have this ready/sent in the next few hr.
Hopefully though one or more of them will be willing to help finish-it-off within the next wk or so.
For those that wish to be made editors of the two Google docs, I can be PM'd at any time.
Thanks to everyone that helped, especially shmerl, who did much of the doc formatting/organizing.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

Thanks, I'll look into this and try to incorporate some of the info in what I'm doing... I'm a bit swamped with work stuff at the moment, so it'll take me a day or so to read through the thread.

Tim

Thanks Tim, feel free to PM your Gmail address at any time, & I will give you complete access to the Google docs.
(Which were just recently changed to read/comment only, except for editors)

I'd like to suggest a hardware solution to make Jolla standout:

Of course 3ed quarter of 2013 might be too late, it could be something to tinker with!

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

instead of two screens I think jolla should build one 6,3 full HD inch screen device and add a keybaord. As a secondary option: A disc phone.

Like this:

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

Errm, what are you talking about crazy Dave, this is the perfect thread for that sort of input...
Thanks for the useful input RX-51, editors will eventually add it to the docs, if something like that isn't already in the hardware section.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

Dual screen idea is definitely interesting. I hope it won't get some ridiculous patent, preventing anyone else to implement such setup.

One question however is ergonomics. Holding something in the palm of your hand feels good if it has enough friction with the surface. Having a glass screen there doesn't feel comfortable. I wonder how they are solving this.
