I have never used swap and never felt like 1GB was not enough. So all this talk about 2GB - or even 1GB - on what is by design a secondary device at best being "not enough" or "mid range" sounds like a mindless rant to me.

Finally some good point at TMO. Best comment for long. Couldn't resist to even link it on twitter :)

Rovio gives the usual "No comment" comment, ie. not denying or confirming.

I take that for granted. Finish company not supporting Jolla phones would be EPIC FAIL

Re: Official specs of Jolla phone surface

Is it possible to transfer battery charge through i2c interface?
I want a spare battery as "Other half". :confused:

I dont understand what is that complaining about 1 GB RAM on a MOBILE DEVICE. What will you do on it? Play GTA V? Use Pinnacle Studio? Maybe Photoshop RAW images?

NO, Im sure you cant do those things that really need LOTS of RAM. Android needs such device because of its memory leaks, bad optimization, blah blah... Just hope for a good OS, if so 1 GB will be completely enough for it. Forget about 2GB & quad/hexa-core on a mobile device

Agree with this... but... at the same time... I wouldn't complain if Sailfish had good optimization, good memory management BUT still launched with 3GB RAM and a quad core CPU. Would you? :D *nerdgasm*

On the jolla page it says extension interface for power in/out. You may not get other half battery as a separate additional battery but you can get a new battery with higher capacity and change it with another one. The power input/output can be used for OHs like solar charger.

Normally I2C only has 2 data lines. Some products has also gnd and vcc pins in addition to data. For example wii nunchuck and motion plus has 4 pins (gnd, sda, scl, vcc). We will see if jolla gathered them in one socket or multiple.

I like the majority of your post, but I take issue with that "secondary" device comment (especially since you appended 'at best' to that). There's no fundamental reason in modern times why one's mobile phone couldn't be a/the primary device in their life, and it is this thinking that they're automatically secondary or worse that leads to so many limitations in modern mobile devices, methinks.

My N900 is my primary device in many respects, and if it weren't for the lack of sufficiently up to date browser, a modern office suite (I'm talking like the entire LibreOffice, not just the code text/spreadsheet/presentation editing that passes for mobile office suites nowadays), it would be my primary device, period.

As an aside with RAM though - I am no stranger to low RAM devices, and often I too would express the same sentiment as you, but I will say, when I recently got upgraded from a 3GB RAM computer to an 8GB RAM computer (as well as similar jumps in specs across the board), it does make a pretty noticeable difference for my use cases. It's subtle and minor, but it pervades everything in a way that adds up. So while I too look at people decrying 1 GB of RAM on a mobile device as too low and facepalm at it, the benefits it can bring are definitely sufficient that I wouldn't call it 'mindless ranting' for just that.

Agree

+ Jolla has really been selling the whole 'Multitasks better than no other mobile, true multitasking', etc thingy. That's my main fear about the 1gb. It might be enough, its possible, but if its not, then they have cripled one of the main selling points of their platform.

Also happens to be one of the main things why I want Jolla phone. But no problem if they have sorted out the software so well, that 1gb won't hinder multitasking.

Re: Official specs of Jolla phone surface

My only fear about the 1gb is how will ACL respect that because those apps are normally bloated and that's without adding in the actual process for compatibility.

MeeGo was crazy efficient. So I can assume that SailfishOS is as well. But 1gb, true multi-tasking + Android compatibility is where my concern for the 1gb of RAM comes in.

We'll see though. I'm still hopeful.

Thats like saying that Mickey Mouse is an old comic.

Rovio has turned it into the 2nd biggest license platform on the planet. Only Disney pushes more crap (toys, candy, whatever) than Rovio does. Its hugely popular and way beyond being just an old game.

I don't care about Angry Birds products either, but Rovio is huge and getting them on the sail boat would be a huge opportunity for Jolla. It alone would get them extra sales and - even more importantly - other big boys might follow Rovio's lead.
