Nokia fans couldn't get the depth of info. about progress for Harmattan (or projects before that) that we've been getting for Nemo/Sailfish, not even close.
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.

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.

Definition of a fanboy: Someone who gushes at how "teh awesome" & " teh bestest" something is, without going into great detail as-to-why it's much better than X/Y/Z.
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.

Not really, but I appreciate the information. To be honest, I'm waiting (hoping?) that my company lets me swap my business iPhone for a BB10 device (the Q10 ofc) and then try it. I won't hold my breath though, and I won't get desperate if I never get a chance to do it.

If you are suggesting that iOS's keyboard and email client are anywhere near decent, then let me tell you that I completely disagree with you, from somebody that mainly uses his iPhone for emails. Explaining why both "features" smell would take time that I don't have, but there you go: my opinion.
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).

Seven years of being a king means you are doing it right. iOS email is not the best, that goes to WP. However N9 was the worst email client in the history of smartphones. I ha to stop using it because of it, and keyboard was also way worse than iOS. Predictive input was horrible, and keys were not well spread out. Jolla needs to show me that the most used features are flawless. All they are showing now is their multitasking (my N9 never multitasked as it froze all the windows when left just like iphone does for obvious reasons to help battery life) and swiping which honestly are minor points in regular users lifestyle

Definition of a fanboy: comparing OSs without even having the product in your hands. That is the worst kind of fanboyism and deceives audience of whether the OS is worthwhile buying or exploring. the facts are based on incompete OS and no device. I bought N900, because it was claimed that it will support all kinds of email including corporate email. Well, it didn't. I was deceived by fanboyism.

A couple of quick points:
- 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

My opinion is that it's still too early to tell. I'm putting them in the same boat with Mozilla's new mobile OS and Ubuntu's new mobile OS--they're late to the game, but they're already starting off far more consumer-friendly and less open-source and developer hostile than Nokia did with Maemo and MeeGo. That alone gives me some more hope--but after the experience with Maemo and MeeGo, I also have learned not to rely on hope and hold my breath. They still need to compete with Android and iOS for market share to make themselves viable but then Linux had to fight the behemoth that was Microsoft and has been steadily coming out on top year over year. It might be not a fast climb to the top for any of these. That's my position--it's basically a good start but what will REALLY count is how they listen to customers and community along the way while maintaining a successful business model. For my perspective--as I've said all along, I'll gravitate to whoever gives me the most of what I want. Openness, flexibility, trust, compatibility/library and support are big for me and the people I work with--I like Android (especially CyanogenMod for its AOSP) but I still yearn for something better. So far, I've not seen it. Not even in Jolla.. but it's still early days--but I remain skeptical until I see more evidence that they're not just going to behave like Nokia did.

I seem to recall some carriers and vendors (ie.

So it seems like it's already getting some traction. Maybe I'm wrong?

Fair point....
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.

What people have been able to try, is Ubuntu chrooted in Android, it's far from where they're headed with real Ubuntu Touch.
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...

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...

The path they want to go entails no longer using SurfaceFlinger hooked into libhybris, but rather using Mir (among other things), that's still a long way out.
But agreed, the time-lines they've set for themselves have [largely] been VERY ambitious...

I agree with that it's too early to tell, but I'm interested in how things will turn up to be like, for instance:
- 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.

jalyst 2013-07-21 15:55

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...

I agree--the more the better. I'm also happy to see that Windows Phone isn't relevant. We don't need to re-live the heavy-handed, closed-source, insecure black-box, customer-hostile Microsoft 90's again. As I often will tell my employers, vendors and other people openly, 'Anything but Windows, please.'

Not everything that Ubuntu is doing is in the open. They're using a lot of other people's code, and aren't contributing back. Not yet and probably not until after they've made their money from those changes...

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.

qwazix 2013-07-24 21:37

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.

Quote:

Step 5 of 5 had nothing to do with future disruptions, "future disruptions" was a term coined under Elop's tenure, "Step 5 of 5" was before his time.
Future disruptions was loosely defined by Elop/colleagues, so that it could ultimately be associated with anything, not just locked into something Linux/FOSS-based.

People have seen something. Unknown what. Why do we know so little if they have tried it. Why don't they speak out about it? Who has tried it?

I know, but it was two epic statement which was worth nothing in the end. And what about Sailfish_Alliance, do you have great explanation for that too?

You're kidding right, have you not read the dozens of articles that outline the entire UX & core/native apps?
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.

And they were statements made by Nokia's middle to senior management, none of whom work for, or were involved in, setting-up Sailfish(Jolla).
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.

That's still a big Qn mark, agreed, but how it remaining unexplained leads you to conclude that Sailfish is a "myth" & "non-existent" is a mystery.
