I heard from Jolla on Twitter that the N900 is *un*-officially supported, I may have misunderstood the topic from them, but I understood that it IS supported. However, there is hope for everything :)

LoL, either it is supported or NOT! It can be unoffically supported from a Compony! Its NOT supported!

But that doesen't mean its impossible to run it! Let's wait and see!

I like the word Compony.. So correct! And it is supported. Just like the N9/50.

AMD, I have no idea where you get your information from but Jolla never said it supported N9 or N900! However, they said that some smart-*** dev/modder could easily port it. They will never ever support these Nokia devices, they even can't legally ;)

I know, gosh. Just please get my point, what I meant is when they said "Technically, yes it's supported but we can't provide official support for it in any way." Okay, THAT'S what I mean by supported. That someone (not Jolla) will be able to port it, POSSIBLE. See what I mean?

Technically it s possible BUT :

* Only 256Mb of memory will require a lot of use of swap, will make the os slow.
* GPU drivers are closed source, not sure if it ll be useable : so mean a really really slower UI.
* Not multi touch screen where ux is designed for multi touch

So it could run but not good enough for a daily use ...

What about "fully functional"? And as I saw on the demo, it runs smoothly enough on the N950 which means the same on the N9..

On n9 it s a different case (1gb of ram, better cpu, faster gpu), not the same hardware than the n900, we were talking about n900 here ...

Oh, sorry, I thought you where talking about the N9 (I knew there was something wrong going around).

Me too, that's way I use it. :D are you saying that the three amaegos are supported by Jolla? Or what are you saying?
