Sorry, didn't know that. I just always assumed it was "Y"olla, as it's a company from Finland. Then again, they're Unlike, so maybe it's both.

I remember that in one early Jolla appearance (Devaamo Tampere, Sept. 2012), their CIO after spelling it like "Yolla" corrected himself and said that "Dzholla" was the way they decided to pronounce it, but probably the Finnish word root make even them slip easily back to the "Yolla" form.

by the time this comes out everyboy else will implement all the good stuff from sailfish
it's like Elementary OS, by the time it comes out of beta, support for 12.04 LTS will be over.

I just downloaded both Linux 64bit and Win version with wget (so to preserve the original timestamp)
Linux version is stamped as Feb 25 16:37, Windows is still hot from the press: Apr 4 14:28

Their site really needs to make some news feed (RSS would be useful as well).

I get the impression jolla don't like news. They don't reply want to be seen or heard. They like to work on silence and never be disturbed, which is good in away but not when it comes to marketing and visibility.

I've said all along that need to promote the new stuff to the users and to the world. Make sure as many as possible knows when they release stuff, even small things.

The windows and osx SDK is a great thing becouse it can give them new users and supporters. Jolla, please pump up the volume.

Well, Jolla was in the news today when Tomi Ahonnen discussed the role of Sailfish in the smartphone OS competitive landscape.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/haydnsha...-stranglehold/

I liked what he had to say about Sailfish targeting the high end market. This community deserves a high end device.

I'm not sure how that will play out given the modest manufacturer and carrier support, but I imported my N9, and I'd import a Sailfish phone, too. It's still wait and see at the moment.

At the Slush event they pronounced it strangely:

-All finnish Jolla people pronounced it like english speakers; "dhzolla".

-All non-finnish Jolla people pronounced it perfecly like finnish speakers; "yolla".

.

Wierd.
