You could use the right-side peek feature to look at the notifications.

This is not the same as having it displayed ALL the time. The old Psion organisers had the option of easily toggling between the display of status panel or not. Maemo allows programs to run in full screen or not.

How the usability of my device will change compared to what? Compared to my N900 or my Symbian-powerd C7 where I have dozens of widgets to interact with right on my homescreens?

Whatever Jolla says about this revolutionary concept seems like marketingbabble to me. What they have is a half-balked cross between a functional widget and a fluid, flexible multitasking view. In the end, neither of those works really well from what I see in the videos.

Having a mini-version of my media player right on my desktop makes my yawn. When did we first have this? On the 770 in 2005? Come on. What I need on the homescreen is a RSS-reader, shortcuts to 5-10 of my favorite contacts (indicating their online status), an email inbox, a scrolling statusnet widget, weather, on/off switches for bluetooth, dlna, nfc, FM-transmitter an thelike, and then of course shortcuts to my favorite applications and websites. I want to pin those to the homescreen, arrange them to my liking and be sure they never change position. I want the contacts shortcuts to be small squares, the size of my fingertip, showing only a person's face, while the email inbox needs to strech over the whole screen width so I can always read the whole subject.

I know I cannot really live without these features because I miss them on the N9. So much, in fact, that I only use the device once a month or so to give it yet another try.

Now they try to re-invent the wheel, which is OK. But I don't think it's necessary that they tell us how groundbreaking and new it's gonna be. :(

Widgets are a simpler form of Jolla's application covers, so the Jolla way of doing it is more powerful, more flexible and available for every application you have, not just a handful like on the N900 so most of the features you mentioned are/will probably be available on a Jolla device cause of application covers. RSS feeder? Just put the RSS feeder application on the homescreen.

Their way of doing things is definitely fresh and new to me, […]

I think its still too early to tell whether Sailfish will or won't have some of the features you listed but it sure looks promising to me.

Even on Harmattan, at the very least system-ui and meegotouch-home are open too.

Ported as in ported. No it can't.Not unless you buy a Majority of the nokia shares, kicking out Elop and put me as CEO and President of Nokia.

"Veronica and I trying this new fad called uh, jogging. I believe it's jogging or yogging. it might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild."
i believe jolla or yolla has a plan and china sure sounds like a good plan just not for me in the US.

People need to make secrefices. Too many are not willing to do so... Yet.

To me it's most important that the sailfish survives, don't really cares for humans, tigers, dogs and snakes.

It's odd how some users are already forming iron-clad, line-in-the-sand opinions, based on what little public info. there is, I wonder why.

By the way, the docs in my sig will be read-only soon, the only way to add further input/content, will be via the thread or the doc's built-on comment system.

Hehehe, just had to screenshot this one, some of the exchanges here seem like they're between folks on weed ;-p

given that that guy from yolla only mentioned China and its distribution channel and how they have spent hundreds or hours in china studying its consumers, why are my comments out of line?

Here's a hint: nothing - congrats on derailing yet another thread man.
