Seems like Jollas strategy is to push Sailfish to as many Android devices as possible (via the community ports)
However I doubt it is Jolla themself that will "port" sailfishos to X/Y device. I think that is kinda misleading info... What they may do is to allow thirdparty to access the repositorys.
Most of what we have seen so far is ports done by the community thanks to cyangonmod and jollas existing libhybris.
But if Jolla port to some device, its probadly licensed by X/Y company because Jolla has no time to do that when they just released a phone and Infra/Shop etc...
My guess is this is a marketing strategy to talk about those Android portings: The more consumers who test the OS the more intrests they get and can push harder to get bigger companys to buy SailfishOS license hopefully...
Question is if this strategy will work....
and about n9 adaption. People must understand, as some already has said: Its way harder to get sailfishos work on N9 than it is on Android devices. Simply because of the driver issues etc.
Also they can't and shall
not
use they'r
very limited
resources on porting to N9 when there is plenty of other more important stuff to fix on theyr on phone and infra, support, shop etc...
N9 port is our job to fix not Jollas. Again people are free to participate in the nemo/mer project...
