maemo.org - Talk - JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones

What formats/containers are you interested in? I've never had problems playing videos on my N9, although I admit that I don't play much as I'd much rather my living room or my laptop connected to a bigger screen.

Now, if you had said that you wanted an HDMI output and more formats and Dolby/DTS etc etc, then I'm with you :-) _but_ I don't think there's any phone out there that allows you to do any of that.

Don't really Remember, left the n9 as media player long ago since lots of stuff didn't work unless manually format. Lately I'm using auditions in the Wmv without success :(

You seem to have made up your mind already, so why not just get a Android/Tizen phone?
If you still don't know why a Sailfish ph may be interesting/appealing, then you really should've made the jump to elsewhere ages ago.*

*N.B. most here already use Android quite heavily

I'm 97% sure I will buy Note lll but also maybe jolla or tizen device. It's possible that I'm not buying Tizen device instead. It's to early to tell...

So given that we know it won't stand out hw-wise*, what's your understanding of why it may be interesting/appealing?

*except for (hopefully) 1 or more unique, innovative, or competitive hw features

That was what I thought about and asked about.

As I see it it's only one (since I don't know what jolla is planning) :

1.More alternatives are better for customers.

I'm actually wondering how easy it will be to get a Jolla device at all, unless you're in Finland :-)

Haven't they said that they need 100k devices sold to be successful? Those aren't many devices if you think about Finland+China, and I don't think they'll risk manufacturing 1M either.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow though, my N9 is still going and I wouldn't mind getting a Jolla device late or a second one that they launch (speculating...).

Also, you never know, maybe a second device will be shaped like a discus ;-)
