The UI demo starts in about two hours. 17.00 finnish time (16.00 Berlin, 15.00 London).
Its on the event stage and has different stream from the main stage stream. Direct link: http://slush.fi/stream/?view=event-stage#a

Also, they kept some swipe gestures, but not the animations that made you understand it right away what you're doing. Here, when he swipes, there isn't any card following your finger out of the screen, like on the N9. It may be due to a Nokia patent, but I hope they will come up with a more intuite way.

Iridescent...
I also think they lack a proper identity. When you see a squircle, immediately you think Harmattan/Symbian/Nokia. There, their icons have different shapes and styles, there is no coherence, and it could be any Android frontend.

And it seems to me that many of the new concepts found in Sailfish are also in the new Blackberry OS, so I hope they won't fight each other with some patents.

I am also a bit worried that there is no status bar. I like seeing all the time my battery state, my network...

Some examples: new tab opened in background, download started/complete, add-on installed, new update available. Clicking such an alert box can switch you to the screen with in-depth information about the event: such as, clicking "new tab opened" switches you to the tab without any hassle, clicking an alert about download switches you to download manager, et cetera. Would something similar integrate well with the existing UI?
I like having a notification icon for messages or updates whatever the application I am using at the moment.

It's good that they want to do something different, but they should be careful not to loose in usability.

I have a lot of hopes for Jolla, that's why I point out the negative aspects. But there are also a good number of positive ones. Android compatibility is a huuuge advantage over Harmattan. I also like a lot the idea of the UI adapting to the main colours of the wallpaper. The interactive tiles seems like a good idea to me, even if I'd like to use it myself to have a better idea.
They just presented the current state of their new OS, I am sure it will be improved over time. And I'm looking forward to being able to install that on my N9 for testing.
Thank you. Everybody.

I didn't like what I see (it's still early though)
looks a lot more complicated than Harmattan.

I see the videos of the OS are running on N950's.
I wonder will Nokia start looking for these devices to be returned, especially since Jolla are now a direct competitor of Nokia.
