Where is Jussi Hurmola? I thought he is the head of sailfishOS?

So in one of the videos OS seems to be running on N950 - that means it should be easy to get it working on N9, right? It looks great and as a ver 0.001 or something similar is quite stunning. Let's wait for 1.0 and hope it will have enough time to polish all the rough edges!

Unfortunately, I am not as impressed as when I saw harmattan for the first time. But I guess we will have to wait and see for the final product, both hardware and software.

Hopefully Android applications will work flawlessly, otherwise I think it will be hard to compete.

OT: No one else thought this was hilarious? :

Come oooooooooon. Is the guy(the first guy) on stage awake

EDIT: Finally a guy that is trying to own the stage even without presentation. It sounds like he likes what he talking about

David should be jolla's Communication Manager...at least the days when jolla has presentations on stages/and events. He did a great job.

The SDK presentation going at the moment.

Somehow it tilts me hard, that all foreign Jolla empolyees pronounce the name perfectly just like a finn ('yolla´) and all finnish employees pronounce it like an english speaker ('dzolla'). Guys, at least decide how you pronounce the name.

He's like a super-energetic Zombie.

No video of the SDK?

Argh, MAKE IT WORK!

How the usability of my device will change compared to what? Compared to my N900 or my Symbian-powerd C7 where I have dozens of widgets to interact with right on my homescreens?

Whatever Jolla says about this revolutionary concept seems like marketingbabble to me. What they have is a half-balked cross between a functional widget and a fluid, flexible multitasking view. In the end, neither of those works really well from what I see in the videos.

Having a mini-version of my media player right on my desktop makes my yawn. When did we first have this? On the 770 in 2005? Come on. What I need on the homescreen is a RSS-reader, shortcuts to 5-10 of my favorite contacts (indicating their online status), an email inbox, a scrolling statusnet widget, weather, on/off switches for bluetooth, dlna, nfc, FM-transmitter an thelike, and then of course shortcuts to my favorite applications and websites. I want to pin those to the homescreen, arrange them to my liking and be sure they never change position. I want the contacts shortcuts to be small squares, the size of my fingertip, showing only a person's face, while the email inbox needs to strech over the whole screen width so I can always read the whole subject.

I know I cannot really live without these features because I miss them on the N9. So much, in fact, that I only use the device once a month or so to give it yet another try.

Now they try to re-invent the wheel, which is OK. But I don't think it's necessary that they tell us how groundbreaking and new it's gonna be.
