Myriad shows up in a photo on http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/jolla-sailfish/ where they obviously present a list of partners.... scroll down, it's right before the headline "UI demo".

It looks like a mixture of WP, Harmattan and ios. Not impressed at all. Moreover, it doesnt seem smooth to me, and Jussa is known for not delivering a smooth experience.

The bottom line is that there is very little in those videos to make one decide one way or another. For example, how is email performing? N9 has THE WORST email client in the history of smartphones. Did that improve? Is it still stuttering and laggy like N9? I gave 4 N9s away due to such subpar performance. The only way I would consider buying anything from Jussa, is if he gave it to me for 10 day grace period, to test it out and make sure it doesnt contain all the previous flaws that disgraced N9 and maemo.

A lot of people - including me - have him on their ignore lists now. Fully quoting his nonsense so that we still see it doesn't help much.

Thanks, I didn't know such option was possible. There the troll goes. Sorry for being off-topic.

Regarding Jolla's announcement, I'm very pleasantly surprised. Expectations were placed high and I was worried they would't be fullfilled.
I just wonder how difficult porting of current Qt apps is gonna be. Will it convert the current Harmattan toolbar to pull-down menu automatically? The toolbar looks to me like the only difference in apps' UI...

Apparently there will be no physical device to buy until mid-2013. Disappointing.

I understand that marketing is important so for me that explains a lot of the exaggerated statements like "stunning" that are used.

The only (positively) differentiating thing I see in Sailfish when compared to iOS, Android and WP7 is another attempt to make an UI put multitasking between applications in the spotlight.
Nokia also did this with Maemo and MeeGo, and this implementation seems similar to the Harmattan implementation.
I hope it will actually function well when devices are released. I am skeptical because doing proper multitasking on resource constrained devices requires extra effort from app creators ( in Maemo and MeeGo in any event), and I have doubts that app creators will put in the effort for a small niche OS.
Since I believe That WP8 and BB10 also try to focus on multitasking it will be interesting to see how these OS-es compare in terms of stability and app availability.

Why should I? I don't mind different opinion, I do mind spamming forums with it just to piss others off.

The wiki says "Coming soon" for the binaries: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Main_Page#SDK_Binaries
