(and I am not including the younited android app announcement).

Press Release 21 Feb with more details due Q2/2014. The brushweed has been blowing about since.
I could ask Peter Vesterbacka back in February if we would get a native Sailfish app of Angry Birds. The answer back then was no, with the reason that available Android versions work well on the device. So the partnership has more promotional reasons (of which Jolla can benefit since there are a lot of Rovio fans out there), and has not the aim to publish a collection of native Sailfish apps.

It would be nice (even though I'm not an Angry Birds gamer) to turn that "Stella Launcher" into a Sailfish ambience - what shouldn't be to much work. The Angry Birds ambience shown at MWC was pretty much the same as that launcher (swipe left/right for exclusive Rovio content).

So that Rovio deal mostly benefits Jolla as a brand and not us users - which doesn't have to be a bad thing.
