They must focus on getting it out, ideally by no later than Oct, putting a large amt of resources towards a full N9/950 port would hinder that, in a extremely tight/competitive market.

*nvm the fact that there's some real roadblocks that will prevent much of it anyway.
You could be right, but how hard could it be to get something reasonably good to the N9/50 community, given that Jolla is intimately familiar with both the device hardware and all of the software combined? They should be able to do something like this in their sleep! Chop chop, Jolla! (just kiddin')

And I "know" or at least assume that they can't give us the dalvik hook-up, but I'm sure we'll figure something out. Heh heh heh. ;-)

Jolla needs to be as mature as possible at time of launch, which means as many man-hours as possible developing, testing, feedback, etc. And the faster they tie the plow to the beast (ie, us) and let us get started, the more work they will get done per unit time. Better for them to let us do as much as we can pre-launch, since we'll end up doing these sorts of task anyways and early momentum is more valuable, IMHO.

Are they going to give our devs developer devices like BB did? They should hook that up, too.
