the one thing that makes this look like a more likely success to me is the fact they didn't come out at the beginning shouting big claims about what they were going to do. they've now been going for nearly a year, with no product in the marketplace, so they've either done nothing, are managed well or they have some serious backing.

does this involve any of the meego guys from berlin? who createdthe website advertising talent for hire? if not, maybe it should.
hardware wise, as long as its smaller than a galaxy s3 (too big for pockets, n9/lumia 800 size better) and comes with a team who can *and will* provide driver updates, i'm in.

from twitter 32mins back:
Jolla@JollaMobile
@aukia We have been hiring and continue to do that, in co-operation with Nokia.
Is this Nokia's Plan B? or are they being supported by Nokia?
It might seem strange, but Nokia has been apparently quite good at supporting their ex-workers in getting new employment in other firms.

Who has done pr 1.3? Old MeeGo Team @ Nokia? But wasn't MeeGo team fired / let go / disassembled?
Im..it's understandable that alot is changing atm;
also it would probably make sense to outsource N9 MeeGo development (read : pr 1.4).
What the hell is going on..
EDIT: also, do not forget that N9 has been added to Nokia's US web page -> might preempt a US distribution; this more and more gives reason for supporting Harmattan.
JollaMobile has nothing todo with Nokia:s N9. Except the fact that some of the team behind the new company(Jolla LTD) was working for Nokia but not anymore.
This means they have no plan, or not even allowed, to port they work to Nokias products.
However they MAY consult for Nokia in the future to fix bugs on N9 (but not port theyr new UI) if they want to. But thats up to them and Nokia to decide...
Nokia may or may not be investors in this new company. But so far no one knows.
So in summary its just a new company with some of the old Maemo/meego team who has started a new hopefuly succefully "Meego" company

Without even going into ergonomics, tactile feedback etc, there's no way around this: an on-screen keyboard eats badly into display real estate, and a finger-friendly one doubly so. If all a user wants to type are one-liners (SMS, twitter and whatnot) that may be acceptable, but for the rest of us a physical keyboard is a hard (pun intended) requirement.
Again i'm not saying i only want on-screen keyboard, i'm fone with both as long as they are done well.
I have posted all the long and shorts messages here for 1-2 years using iPad, N9 and Lumia 800.

In other companies where you know you are going to get fired the work almost instantly dies.
