- Running android apps doesn't seem a long term solution for the same reason.

So what is the 'optimum' future for SFOS? Am I just being pessimistic and missing it?
- This will surely be a challenge for the community and for jolla. I don't want another iOS or android that lock you in via many closed apps.

I think I would be okay with the UI being closed and maybe just maybe a few special features. But I think if jolla was smart they would make sure to balance new grow with more openness. However with Nemomobile, all those app should be easily ported. And if qt get more love than even better able to run on multiple OS ... kinda of less likely.

- I never thought being able to run android apps was a good investment in building a 3 mobile platform. It's okay for short term, but somehow jolla need to pay/convince/have users lobby for their favorite software/popular ones.

- Sailfish in my opinion is currently the best choice and the coolest looking alternative OS to the big 2. If the grow of KaiOS is any indication, if you find the users the big boy software companies will a come knocking. Like facebook, youtube, Google Assistant, Google Maps., instagram, twitter all add their services to kaiOS.

So there is always hope.
