Have to admit, I don't come by too much any more, even though i still use my N9 as a daily driver.
Having just grabbed a quick look at the last 3-4 pages of this thread, I'm reminded why i don't.
I'm surprised to see (especially amongst some who i assumed would know better) so much of the "me too" crap about hardware specs, as though keeping up with the current generation of hardware shipped on android devices is, by any measure, a determination of the performance of an OS like Meego/Mer/Sailfish.
that the OS appears (to all extents, as seen on the previews thus far shown) to run as smooth as it does on 2+ yr old hardware like the n950, is itself indicative of what high quality optimised code matched to the right hardware can do.
I'd be more concerned about application development for the OS and the integration of key services.
A great SDK, with a range of options to automate and assist with porting of existing apps, will do more for Jolla in the long run than the hardware on their initial device(s).
The Chinese market is far less interested in the hardware pissing competition that is being bandied about in the Western World...
