initially reservation was due to unknown level of support, now its just the hw being slightly outdated. if they announced a jolla2 today i'd order in a heartbeat.

Maemo using Android graphics drivers via libhybris and Wayland may be the one of the only long term options or an atom+intel hd graphics device. Neo900 is in the position to go without because of the hw similarities (omap). We will need to see what the porting team come up with.

Sticking with X11 (drivers permitting) with an updated user space based on GTK3.14+ is something I've been looking at but not yet tested on any real device. I have a desktop and hildon-home built but have discovered a number of issues with libhildon, mainly around anything using HildonPannableArea seg faulting. I've been rebasing the class on GtkScrolledWindow as upstream now supports touch. _scroll_to()/_jump_to() are proving to be a major culprit of faults. There nearly done, just wish gtk_adjustment_animate_to() was public API, so I'm having to reimplement in class.
I don't understand any of that last paragraph. However, if it's possible to port Maemo to the Neo900, that means it's not generally impossible, and should be possible to port it to other devices as well, yes?
SailfishOS was very incomplete at release, but I can see it being up to par with Maemo in terms of features by version 2.0. Really curious what that will bring.
