While previous post is a tad off, it still has a point.
We (community) don't expect that any of Jolla staff does official announcements or premature disclosure of specs or anything in here.
But:
Let me point you to a new rumour that came up: ST-Micro and Ericsson divorced and thus the NovaThor future is in the dark. OTOH there are other nice SoC like OMAP5 and Snapdragon. Today I want to discuss what is my personal take on each one of them regarding their strong points and shortcomings... et cetera pp add facts and gossip as see fit
Valid contribution of a Jolla employee (maybe from the HW-development department) - yet to be seen - that doesn't say anything about Jolla but still gives community a warm feeling of participation and an idea of what's maybe happening inside Jolla. I know not many developers/engineers like to do this kind of gossip.

The rest is not about talking but mainly about listening and an occasional "we hear you".
Example:
User: please make sure the USB port isn't as weak as on some other devices we all know
Answer from Jolla associate: I'm sure the relevant gals and guys inside Jolla are already aware of the problem
Seems the latter slowly getting better recently. Previous failure to do anything like that is percieved as elitist and closed mindset.

Ps: sorry when all my examples are pretty hw-centric - I wonder how that might've happened ;D Anyway it has its benefits since it's a genuine Jolla theme
