MWC is getting nearer and we have had some rumours/tweets on new features that are to be presented in Barcelona. Some more information in this news article (in Finnish) titled:
Jolla has high hopes for Barcelona - "News are on their way"
http://www.tekniikkatalous.fi/ict/jo...saquot/a966903

Summary:
-New features (as expected) and some more information on TOH
-Jolla have 100 squaremeters of space, ~20 people from executives and sales, a big investment says CEO Pienimäki
-They are meeting operators and other partners, no deals expected to be made but they are starting the conversations
-They have shipped the pre-orders in Finland, some tens of thousands (not quite clear whether this includes all the pre-orders or just those from Finland). Next up is Portugal, webstore is of course already open.
-Expectations on China have been toned down a bit, it requires localisation and volume.
-Their goal is to sell several hundreds of thousands of phones this year.
-The next phone is being designed, but right now they want to concentrate on launching the first device. The launch of the second device will most likely be during 2015.
-They are trying to improve the OS and apps so that the platform would raise interest among the other manufacturers.
-As they are using the same components as Android phones, they are able to order more devices fast.
-There is a interest towards Jolla due to Android and WP are seen as less trustworthy due to NSA.
-They employ around 90 people at the moment, looking for mostly some exceptional talents although they get a huge amount of applications all the time.


So, what features do you expect them to present in MWC? Something that has been discussed/requested in jolla.together? Something totally unexpected?
