The only (positively) differentiating thing I see in Sailfish when compared to iOS, Android and WP7 is another attempt to make an UI put multitasking between applications in the spotlight.
Nokia also did this with Maemo and MeeGo, and this implementation seems similar to the Harmattan implementation.
I hope it will actually function well when devices are released. I am skeptical because doing proper multitasking on resource constrained devices requires extra effort from app creators ( in Maemo and MeeGo in any event), and I have doubts that app creators will put in the effort for a small niche OS.
Since I believe That WP8 and BB10 also try to focus on multitasking it will be interesting to see how these OS-es compare in terms of stability and app availability.

Why should I? I don't mind different opinion, I do mind spamming forums with it just to piss others off.

The wiki says "Coming soon" for the binaries: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Main_Page#SDK_Binaries

A mix of windows tiles, Android desktop and n9 swipe...Did anyone saw if iOS was included?

Well said. I am afraid that with their track record, the big picture may be rosy, but day to day use will be subpar to competitors. But hey, they are on their own now. They know that in order for them to succeed they need to deliver a near perfect UI. I wish them good luck, but as I said before, I will not buy anything from Jussa as his leadership makes me doubt he can deliver a smooth performance that is on par with competition.

It looks like a mixture of WP, Harmattan and ios. Not impressed at all. Moreover, it doesnt seem smooth to me, and Jussa is known for not delivering a smooth experience.

The bottom line is that there is very little in those videos to make one decide one way or another. For example, how is email performing? N9 has THE WORST email client in the history of smartphones. Did that improve? Is it still stuttering and laggy like N9? I gave 4 N9s away due to such subpar performance. The only way I would consider buying anything from Jussa, is if he gave it to me for 10 day grace period, to test it out and make sure it doesnt contain all the previous flaws that disgraced N9 and maemo.

Looks from Jolla's latest twitters they are releasing SDK now¿!?

Overall, is anyone else disappointed? This looks almost exactly the same as what Blackberry 10 is doing, but doesn't look anywhere near as advanced or polished. Lumiaman has a point as well. I'd like to see how Jolla Mobile handles web browsing, or integrating with e-mail. Fluffy UI's and background images don't do anything for me.
