In case anybody here's interested, this whole design concept of the OH (Other Half), is an amazingly targeted chinese design.

In china, it's the "done" thing for couples to wear matching clothes, it's a huge industry, it's hard for me to explain how huge this is there.

What does that potentially mean for the intent behind the OH?

Well, it would mean it's been designed not for awesome mods, but for simple yet unmistakable, personalisation. Now that upsets me just as much as the rest of you (if not more, goodbye arduino-jolla halfbreed), but I can see the brilliance of this for the chinese market. The better the jolla phone nets them a sizeable chunk of the chinese market, the better-prepared they'll be to create a device for our tastes later on..

If all this waiting doesn't kill us first :/
