Techcrunch has brand new Jolla interview.

EDIT:
"Pienimaki gave me a look at the Sailfish OS. Like Windows’ interface and Android, it has a number of tiles or widgets that can pull up contacts or messages. You unlock the phone by swiping upwards and notifications are discreetly hidden in the top right-hand corner.

“It’s done in a way that so that your notifications are private and no one can see them directly on your phone’s screen,” Pienimaki said. The OS also emphasizes multitasking with the ability to peek into other applications through these widgets. You can also change the look and the feel of the UI with different photos from your library.

The company should have a video up shortly, which I’ll add (because that’s probably a better explanation of how Sailfish looks and feels than I can put in words).

Pienimaki says that while Sailfish can support tablets, smart TVs, cars and other kinds of devices, Jolla will be a smartphone company first and foremost.

“The sailfish operating system is very scalable and we have ported it to many form factors, but we are mainly a smartphone company,” he said."
