Totally agree with that. Imo pure mobile phone manufacturers will see expensive smartphones turning into a general goods (like basic phones) sooner than you might think. It's a another thing does Jolla have anything really special to offer against others. Android will keep ruling, maybe even more dominant than it is now.
Yup theres a bit in there where the current CEO says that their plan is to get 80% of their income come from the Sailfish OS (Note not from the hardware).

Whetever they succeed is another matter, but both you and Jolla CEO are dead right IMHO. Smartphone hardware is becoming a penny business like PC hardware, and the money will be on the OS. That is propably the reason why the finnish title of that article translates as "Jolla wants to be the Google of mobile, not the Nokia".
