All I know is the LPS was an awesome feature of the N9 and if it can be duplicated with minimal impact on battery life sign me up.

what hw access would be needed?

It requires low level hardware access to the display, so that one can lower the refresh rate significantly. The backlight battery drain is not too much compared with the screen refreshing at 60fps.

This is about to turn into an interesting how open is Sailfish OS question.

It'd be great to get official word on whether they have plans, even if it's a long way off & LP.
They don't work on it, or at least made it clear they wanted to avoid any misunderstanding on that matter: https://twitter.com/JollaHQ/status/388588752357953536

However, it suggests that something similar to Lumia's glance could be achieved. Even with high energy consumption, I'd buy it. As stated above, it would still be better energy-wise than keeping full display (by preventing locked screen). Plus with proximity-sensor-based activity, this LPSish screen would only work a few minutes/hours a day, and only when necessary when the phone cannot be touched every 2 sec to check status and clock (car, bike, running, meetings, night)

Even with associated battery drain when on, such a feature would definitely be an improvement in my opinion. And if battery's a problem, then just disable the feature or keep your proximity sensor covered by keeping the device upside down or in pocket.

Ok so it will be very gricky and not for the average user. Its damn sad that that this multicolor led didn't break. Jolla should have made it there sign and trademark and could be adjusted to the color of the other side. That feature is pure genius.

Wait, they have changed their plans about the notification LED? When did that happen?

I didn't follow the thread lately - too much noise.

But here are some recent videos (sorry if this was already posted):

* Interview with Marc Dillon from Slush 2013

* Jolla announcements from Slush 2013

Yes, that's what I meant as well

The notification LED on the front side had been in the specs on Jolla's website for a while, but it's disappeared with the new website few days ago.

I wouldn't notice if it wasn't for your comment.
