"Sailfish OS 2.0 will be available in our next software update through our normal release process. In a few weeks our early access customers will get a first try for it, and then quickly after, every Sailfish OS user will get to experience the new smooth user interface and all other new stuff it has in store. We can’t wait to release it!"

So it should be coming to early access users quite soon!! :)

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

Have you looked at your calendar lately? :-)

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

Next software update... which is not july, but end august :(

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

so 1.1.7.24 will jump to 2.0.xx at end of August

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

so 1.1.8.xx will be SailfishOS 2.0 branch

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

No problem for me. Holiday is way nicer to have than some OS update.

People on TMO should also try go out in the sun and take some holiday from TMO and phone/tablets instead of waiting for soon comming ;)

Because holiday is soon over and then all will go back to work/school and then come the damn ugly cold winter again and you guys wait for a new toy to play with and have forgotten both sailfishos 2 and Jolla Tablet you got in the warm August.

Maybe they rename it later to 2.0.x.x
or
It's used as a maintenance branch to fix stuff (one more step to 2.0) after we - early users - will brick our phones when installing 2.0. :)

Regarding the announcement of partnership with Intex, I have noticed one thing that worries me:

Notice the Sailfish Store on the right. It may be just a mockup, but it looks like some generic Android app store (Yandex? Aptoide?) branded as 'Sailfish Store' at the top. Could it be that Jolla store is primarily for _Jolla_ devices (hence the name) and Sailfish Store will come as default in SailfishOS 2.0 (at least in some markets like India)? If so, it would be the end of native apps...

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

yes there is "official" jolla channel in aptoide too

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

Looks to me like Yandex store with a Sailfish Logo. It's also weird to see so many running Android apps and Android icons in app launcher on all those photos we get from India.

Maybe those are mockups, a marketing decision or it doesn't mean anything at all ;) We'll see...

In that sense, one thing I did not like about one of the presentations of Sailfish 2.0 is that in this slide (from a re-tweet by @JollaHW)
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKAfJVrUkAA3gRC.jpg:large
it reads:
'Runs Android & Sailfish Apps'

Granted, there is are not so many native apps as in Android world, but it feels like they are already considered as 2nd class citizens.

Re: Sailfish OS 2.0
 

I doubt Intex have much if any interest in Sailfish. However they lack the resources to develop their own Android app store and make a success of it (and get revenue from it), but they can get revenue sharing from Sailfish / Jolla store and Aptoide through Sailfish. Also since there will be a relative paucity of apps, they can much more easily promote any potential moneyspinners of their own. It's worth trying for a relatively small player like them, even if their main business will continue to be Android (& FireFox). They might not sell that many, but they could potentially have higher revenue / margins per sale.

Indeed, the page on their website about Sailfish and their forthcoming "Aqua Fish" handset(s) shows more screengrabs from Android and iOS than it does Sailfish.
