That statement scares me.... Does this actually mean they MAY consider using an Intel chipset OMG! please NO.

I want ARM not shitty x86
Really? I wouldn't turn down a Medfield-based phone beforehand. See http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/06/l...800-benchmark/ And I wonder if this thing is running in pure native x86, or with (some) emulated ARM libs, so it might just get better.

But I'd love Intel's support behind MeeGo.

I was skeptical about X86 originally when MeeGo was Nokia, it made sense in the whole ecosystem sense to have it all on ARM.
Now as Jolla is at it's own it could get that special vibe from using X86.


it looks like Jolla's site would be www.jollamobile.org.

Now that could either be "Consumers are not permitted to..." or "Consumers are on average not technically able enough to..." - can a native Finnish speaker look at the original?

I think that's a great idea, what if you just a phone that works? no mess no fuss buy it from any phone shop.
And a different version for those who like to play with everything that's inside

Intel's support is the kiss of death. I've seen so much interesting stuff with Intel's backing. Nothing ever comes from it and lives. Most likely it'll warp into some new v.0.5 with a new partner.

I'm guessing that the reason for it is because carriers are going to require it. Fact is, many want to have the freedom to modify phones to meet their requirements and lock out the average user from mucking with it. I didn't expect that to change with Jolla.

I expect that they will make unlocked phones available, just like most GSM phone makers do.

I don't think there's any question about that. Who other than Apple doesn't have it's phones available unlocked globally?
Unlocked market is way too big in Europe and Asia to be left out, especially for company like Jolla that simply wont be getting wide operator support.

My translation:
Jolla phone will be a real smartphone aimed at the mass consumer market. It will not be aimed to just Linux-geeks. Consumer will not be able to directly hack the kernel or to flash it with new software.
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. What a shame :-(
