I'm actually rather excited that there will be another alternative (there is Firefox OS and others as well).

It is clear that the smartphone market needs more options, otherwise there wouldn't be so much going on.

Ultimately, I agree with some of you around here who believe that a mobile phone should eventually be just a small computer, and you should be able to load up whichever OS you want relatively easily.

People talk about ecosystem, I like it when most of the things run on a browser - there aren't many excuses nowadays unless you want integration with hardware parts that aren't accessible from an ECMA script compatible API (read: JavaScript). I mean, seriously, I have 2 "apps" in my iPhone to do online check in, which connec to the internet and open their own browser. Seriously? Why? I can do the same thing with the N9, except faster.

All in all, I'm happy I won't have "just Android" to go for in a couple of years when my N9 dies of old age (or of too many falls I should say).

All the best to Jolla for being yet another alternative.

PS: I am, however, concerned about the hardware... my Nokia is still far superior than other devices I compare it with on a day to day basis, so hopefully that "stays" like Elop would put it.
