Look at N900, it was a great product because it was a culmination of experiences with several previous maemo devices. Jolla leadership was involved with N9, and we know that N9 has many downfalls. It is really not a stable OS for idiot proof use, as compared to other OSs. If Jolla has a completely new UI, you very well know their first product will not be polished. Of course, I would be very happy if it is, but given the history of Jolla leadership involvement with N9, I have my doubts. That is all I am expressing. I am looking at the history of previous products this group was involved, and I am on the fence. Even Quim here quipped on his tweeter that he hopes they learn from their previous mistakes. I hope so too!
With all due respect, you don't seem able to understand that the Meego team had many constraints imposed on them - they weren't able to develop the N9 in a 'perfect world'. The fact managed to get the N9 out at all was an achievement in itself. You compare the resources apple/microsoft/google provide to their OS divisions and compare that with what the MeeGo team had. You need to be fair and reasonable with your judgements, man
