Looking forward to test the hardware compatibility with the upcoming
Jitsi.org Android version (Scheduled for Q3 2013)
ZRTP video call on my Jolla Sailfish device would that be a lot to expect in 2013-14?

Many were expecting Jolla to go with OpenMobile inc’s. Android Compatibility Layer (ACL), but speaking to Jolla’s CEO Tomi Pienimäki yesterday, he told me that “Jollia is not using” the ACL. “Jolla is developing its [own] Android application compatibility based on open source Android Projects and Dalvik runtime together with a 3rd party technology provider.”

Just buy Android device. Announcing that you are mooching off another platform, and that is a cause for celebration??

I think a compatibility layer for [a random alien OS] is a good idea.
- For the producer - increased chance of survival in against mainstream competition.
- For the buyer - you can continue using your familiar "ecosystem" (sorry about the use of that profaned word), hence less resistance to upgrade, hence... see For the producer.
Think for a moment like a Jolla executive. Your company is a small start-up. You do not dominate the market. You can't afford to pi$$ against the wind. What do you do? What is easier, to port all 500 fart Android apps, OR make sure they work on your device without porting?

The main reason some users like me need Android compatibility is because I want to carry one phone, but still be able to access work email for example. Unfortunately the work email app only runs on Android and iOS.
Otherwise I'm not to fussed about other apps.
What I am really interested in is the hardware compatibility - I am not a fan of the Jolla phone so if this OS gets up and running on some Android devices that would be great.
