You don't think they'll have product pages at launch? There's already dev pages, and no shortage of info. there for them to get started. |

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
I like how the fanboy gives due respect to iOS. It's been seven years since iphone was launched and it still rules th world. That is the success of true innovation. What I see in Jolla is refinement, but that is enough to sell to maybe 10k fanboys around the world, not to light the fire like iphone did. I still don't know how functional their email and keyboard are, something that everyone uses the most.

Which in the case of iOS Vs Sailfish is a pointless exercise, until Sailfish has had at least 6mth to mature in the real-world, but that [clearly] won't stop the fanboys on both sides. |

In addition, and by challenging fandroid friends, it doesn't seem like Android's email client is any better, at least when it comes to IMAP. Needless to say, gmail works perfectly (duh). |

- I think your N9 is broken (if you bought several, several were). Multitasking works great on mine, I wish iOS could do basic things like start loading a website, go elsewhere, come back and the website is loaded. If that's impossible because of "battery life", well ok, make a better OS. Not my fault that Apple sucks at making technology lately. The N9's battery life outlives iOS's, and I use the N9 _way more_ than the iPhone - Have you tried swype? iOS doesn't give you that option and is critical if you ever use your phone with one hand. Like, use the _mobile_ phone while walking for example... kind of using a mobile device to be mobile, right? - I believe iOS's mail app is the worst that I tried so far, and I use N9's. 99% of the time I read my emails on the phone, that's something that iOS can't do properly [on IMAP] - I disagree that iOS has been king for 7 years, I think my Nokia 5800 has always been better than my iPhone 4 at everything I use the iPhone for |

I think we've seen lots of evidence already (just in how the interrelated projects have evolved) that they're very different to how Nokia behaved. But yes, there's still some question marks over the degree of openness (which isn't just about blind/regular code dumps ofc) in some areas. Quote:
Most of the people trying it, aren't actually contributing a single thing, they install it for a while, find they can't do SFA, rant/rave, & then remove it. It's a good publicity exercise, it's resulted in far more visibility for ubuntu touch than sailfish (& ubuntu touch already benefits from ubuntu's brand in other form-factors), not really dev progress though. That's one thing Shuttleworth has in spades, marketing/spin instinct. There's still some question marks over that advisory group, it's more about "keeping up appearances" than any real progress*. More significantly, they still don't have any hardware partners, that's what needs to be lined-up pretty soon... Quote:

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
jalyst,
The flipped images being offered by Ubuntu recently are all about booting into Ubuntu with Android in the chroot so they are certainly on the path to where they want to go but questions remain about, among other things, the feasibility of them arriving by their self-set deadlines... |

- Jolla won't need to sell millions of devices to be successful [in the short/mid term], so they can take certain liberties. - Firefox is tricky since they are funded partly by Google... not sure how they'll expect money back from their Firefox OS, perhaps just licensing? In which case, how much do they need to sell to be successful and continue their work? - Ubuntu: not sure about how big they are and what their success goals are. Again, they don't seem to be selling any device, so money-wise maybe it's just licensing? - Tizen: I'm pretty sure Samsung will want to sell millions of devices running this for a certian period of time to justify their investment. For what it's worth, I hope all of them will be a success and in consequence continue with their work, we certainly need more options rather than fewer. Will developers have to maintain more versions of their software? Well, yes, so what? It's been like that for years... maybe it will get better with standards, but for now that's totally understandable. |
Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
Canonical IIRC plans to have their own device(s), & then sw they license for partners devices (carriers etc), quite similar to Jolla.
There is some significant differences in their approaches, but I can't recall all the detail OTTOMH... |

Now you have to fight apple instead. They are just as customer unfriendly as a Microsoft.

Sorta something like that. I'm trying to convey quickly what seems to be a very troubling situation. And I'm definitely not exactly the best person to answer since I don't know all of which code and/or libraries are being used: think it started around libhybris. |
No, it started much earlier, during the first mer days. OG Mer was to be (toting the familliar hildon-desktop) the ubuntu mobile distribution back in the days of karmic. I'll leave the details of what happened as an exercise to the reader as I don't know the exact facts and I don't want to misinform.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
Since it's too quiet, apparently there's a new Sailfish SDK, haven't tried it yet though.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
Sailfish is a myth. It don't exist. You are so fooled. It's like Nokias step 5 of 5, future interruptions, Sailfish_Alliance, where is it? And now Sailfish...

Heaps has been covered already, quite a bit for a device that's still in it's pre-production phase. That's not something you get from most of the bigger guys before the 1st ww release of their OS/platform. Quote:
With the power of hindsight, we've since learned that almost all Nokia's ills can be attributable to that part of the organisational structure. Quote:
