I am following this thread, TMO open letter to Jolla and there reply.

what i can make out that they are betting on the ACL/alien dalvik for apps and I can see there point as well. They want something readily baked to serve to there customers so may be later when they find some success and need some innovation then they can come to this community or may start a new one, who knows.

I guess we as community should respect there strategy and decisions and i guess they are trying to not be as arrogant as of Nokia who ditched ACL or alien delvik from N9 to kill the chances of its success if any.

and they are trying to be 'UNLIKE' nokia :P
