The video on Jolla website is astounding. Its start and finish, especially, show the unique, innovative, beautiful approach. However, I will have to watch it again and again to understand just how the demonstrated interface works.
Jolla has moved them to the lockscreen, allowing you to maximise what is shown on your display.
Yes, this solution is most definitely welcome.
Jolla has also integrated a new “Pulley Menu,” (shown above) providing mobile owners with easy ways to interact with their Jolla device. While a pull down mechanism might be present in Android or iOS, Sailfish offers a completely new method of operation. Instead of using the pull down to refresh content or show notifications, Jolla’s OS allows users to display menu items that help share photos or videos to social networks with the push of a button.
Grateful. Android menu has been annoying me, when I looked at it; notifications interface within Maemo is much better [than anything else I have ever seen in reality], intuitively obvious (I am speaking about hildon banner, notification led and, when a call is missed, twinkling left top corner).
The OS will feature “effortless multitasking,” allowing users to switch between running applications directly on the homescreen, “ending a call, pausing a song or without needing to enter the application.”
How do you make the list of running applications visible on the homescreen? Is it brought onto the homescreen by a swipe? Is an application switched to by a swipe? And the application never uses the full screen - the background is always visible at the left and right - ah, it's because of different form factors, on real phone it doesn't have these ledges? In the end, the background changes from orange-with-tree to blue-with-city - how does it happen (look at 51.778: the brief moment when neither background is seen), is it because there are several homescreens with different backgrounds, and direction of swipe affects to which of them you return from task manager?
I hope they will soon have a promotional video with hardware and software showcased, like the beautiful video about N900. They could show a close-up of sailfish eye, or sail, then...
Best wishes.
