Not sure how to interpret that.
1. Jolla is small and cannot afford to experiment like Microsoft or Nokia can?

Jolla is small and if it manages to sell as many devices as M$/Nokia did with Windows phone, they'll be super successful.

2. Jolla is small and small UX mishaps can be more easily forgiven?

Only by a fraction of the users I'd say - especially the first ones. Having said that, for what I've seen so far, the work done in the N9/Jolla related to UX has been the best in the industry that I've seen. But that's my personal opinion.

3. Jolla is small and the UI designing people are closer to the developers and therefore any UX mishaps are inexcusable?

design/dev communication is inexcusable however big you are. Jolla has the only advantage that they are small and can react to changes quicker than the big ones, without having to go through a committee and all that.

4. Anything else?
|
The main point is the first one - Jolla doesn't need to sell hundreds of millions of devices to be relevant. I'm personally happy for them _not_ to be too relevant but successful for a few years so that they stay close to the ground and source. I personally don't want another CEO/CIO/CTO that knows null about technology (or oil platforms) leading a technology company. |
