I wonder if the porting to Android devices would have been given more attention and official support in there was no Jolla device to sell. Are there any devices that have every component working in their ports yet? If there was a model where you could get a basic Sailfish OS working with a nice installer, basic apps, full control of your device and more performance without the Android bloat to rejuvenate old devices, then you could attract whoever isn't happy with what Android did for them without asking today.
Then you add a Sailfish store with paid apps, including the current licensed parts like Alien Dalvik and the text prediction, and you could actually make money. It'd be a stronger business model than Cyanogen even. You could open source much more of Sailfish too without worrying about your revenue stream.
