Yes, buguntu is trying to copy their UI, but much slower and doesn't look like it will feel comfortable.

I think both uis looks pretty sweet?

Copy? You mean swipe from any side of the screen? I fail to see it. Sorry.

I am with the following comment on Jolla:

These guys have an uphill battle. Other than the UI, they have said little as to what their differentiators will be, and whether they will be worth the high end cost.

The members of TMO, of all people, know the efficiency of MeeGo. We know how it will scale with better hardware and how it screams on lower end hardware.

MeeGo, which Jolla has built their new UI on top of, is a very capable little beast that the *nix lovers and developers can latch onto easily. It's a rather standard affair to develop for and that means the price admission to develop for it is much lower and porting to it has many ways - C++, Qt, Python, etc. - to port to it.

Skeptical is okay. I'm personally very skeptical about Jolla. But at the same time, I'm also very happy they're there in a sector that was quickly dwindling to iOS and Android.

Jolla, BB10, Firefox OS... dude, those are the OS's that might never make a huge dent into the current iOS and Android steamroller, but they are there.

I hope they do well. And it's gonna take communities like this, full of developers that just don't think within the box, to make some inroads into the aforementioned competition.

Trying to copy more than copying... I meant things like some form of swiping, no buttons and all that. I was half joking, of course, since I do like the fact that there is yet another option.

Personally, I didn't like the usability (e.g., I don't see myself using it with one hand alone), and certainly didn't like its performance.
Ah well, let's see what happens

They have no chance. Dreamers that can't deliver. What are they tweeting lately?

I don't,know what efficiency you are talking about. My N9s were laggy and stuttering like a Parkinson disease inflicted old man. And this was a 1gb of RAM. Jolla can't deliver. That is why they got fired. Can the losers stage comeback, sure. I wish them all the luck and capable personnel they need.

Dunno man. I used N9QTweak and my N9 doesn't stutter.

But I thought OGG was dangerously proprietary! ...Or doesn't anybody remember that? I hope Jolla doesn't make these same stupid mistakes.

I'll have to agree with gerbick here. I do not even use N9QTweak, and I do not overclock my device and still it behaves just like it should. My device never "stutters" or "lags" or whatever...

BTW, My niece bought an iPhone 5 for herself as christmas present and I helped her to set it up so you cannot even claim I do not have experience on Apple devices to compare with N9. In my experience the UI of both devices reacts pretty much with the same fluidity.

I do belive that the problem is rather psychological than physical here
