There is alot off smoke going on at Jolla. He doesn't want show camera. Also he changes device when showing other half. Seems like there is several protos going on? And the only show one without psysical connector?

But for a small company probadly best to hide stuff. There is ALOT of copycats out there

I would NOT be suprised if we soon seen a shitty sailfish swipeUI skin in top of broken android...

Well in the DNA Jolla video one of the guy did mention that the device marc dillion was showcasing yesterday is a prototype.

It would be nice if it is a USB 3 port that support usb host mode.

Someone may come up with a "Other half" with usb hub and you can plugin a 4 TB hard disk, keyboard and mouse and even a usb monitor.

Will this make everyone happy?

LOL!!!

I don't have problem with them not telling HW specs. After all, I'm interested in jolla because of OS. If I want top HW there's a lot to choose from.
But I do have problem with sooftware side. It's been over a year since we saw first sailfish demo and now we still have that more or less the same demo. Nothing more. They don't even want to show the camera app. WTF can be so special about camera app? What about syncing? What about calendar? Does it pull birthdays from contacts? How good is email client? How capable is browser? What about skype? What about navigation? I know that they don't have resources for their own maps and everything. But will they license it from someone so that it comes on every device or we will have to buy one? I'm fine with second option to but in that case I would like to now that it wont end up like sygic on N900. How capable will be media player? I could go on but I think that it's pretty clear what I mean here. But all we see is that we can see facebook phots without any aditionl app Who cares about that crap

And the applications store. What about that? We've heard that first app was released 29 minutes after SDK was released. Which one is that? I think that this part should be also explained a bit by now and that we should at least be able to browse through existing apps (if there are any actually) and that developers can see what exists and what is needed. But not a word about that

MD invites everybody to join the tribe but on what basis? A year old demo but now on different HW and this other half gimmick?
Oh, I forgot, probably because it's android compatibile.

The Other Half is nothing more than NFC, with or without assisted bluetooth connection. The devices comprising an Other Half, would need to fit well within a Bluetooth profile.

While it does limit what can be put on the device, the subtle combination of bluetooth and nfc in this case, with an easy to deploy form factor and case, provides a very compelling, if small and subtle idea on how to both use the unused space at the back of a phone, and how to do things like aesthetic customization, small and useful peripherals, etc.. Bluetooth, NFC, flash storage, and small low voltage microcontrollers provide a very powerful base on which to build all sorts of widgets.

We don't need no crappy play store.
We don't need no WhatsApphone.
No shitty choice on the market.
Jolla leave them droids alone.
Hey, Jolla! Leave iFans alone!
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all, you just are better than Steven Flop.

We don't need no octa-cores.
We don't need no glass iPhones.
No crippled pages in the browser.
Jolla leave them droids alone.
Hey, Jolla! Leave iFans alone.
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all, they just are brainless sheep in the flock.

The world would be boring without all that...

Over a yr? I don't think so. Much was shown around mid-November @Slush, & even more new stuff since then.

Again with that....

Yeah, it's a huge improvement over N9/50, so ah, point being?

Well maybe or maybe not, if it's done well that'll be the hw area they standout, it was always improbable to happen in more conventional areas.

I actually like this aspect, others don't, but it depends how well it's done, if it's "shite" compared to BBX I'll be a sad panda.

Other points taken though, add them to the other thread please, if they're not already there...

well, I wanted to say that it's more or less the same all the time.
And I forgot the pulley menu

Is it verified that it's a 4.5 inch screen in that phone Mc used for demo? Or will they add a real screen later. Don't see why they need such huge phone if rhe are planning to use a small screen llike that. It doesn't add up.
