Doubt Jolla would even consider something like that, but I'm no expert in the areas touched on.
I guess nobody answered in detail to further that speculation on what Jolla should do because in the end; Jolla will hopefully do something that's good for their growth. I'm quite sure there's quite a few people here better versed in discussing what would be a better direction for Jolla's future plans than myself - I tend to look at the gadget, the UI/UX and marketing first, developer interactions and accessibility second, their strategies of infiltration into markets that aren't directly connected to my home areas last - and then go from there.

Simply stated, I want Jolla to come out with something now while there's a bit of a vacuum that exists mainly due to Nokia withdrawing/being purchased by Microsoft and Windows Phone never living up to the 3rd platform talks that Elop repeated incessantly to make people comfortable with it possibly failing and accepting 3rd best.

Jolla needs distribution channels, savvy marketing, a developer's program that embraces devs outside of this forum and perhaps some serious guerrilla marketing that isn't hard to decipher to the layman.

Targeting the Maemo/MeeGo folks is a wrong ploy. All of those devices that Nokia seeded and very few of them landed in people's hands that really would have used them. Too many times have I seen devs use their own money and/or ask for a device from an user that still had it boxed up with dust on it to be donated to them. I'm not preaching that those users were wrong. I'm saying that those kind of "developers" are wrong for Jolla during this startup phase.

I won't name names. But some folks that got the N950 were plain useless and selfish. A repeat of that would be a bad thing.
