Well you said "like Qualcomm" and Qualcomm's only two serious competitors are Mediatek and Samsung.

And do not forget Apple
The same goes with it.All others are in the mercy of the SoC vendors.
For some really obscure reason that quite escapes me, HW vendors think that revealing too much in the driver is going to enable other companies to copy their IP and make competing products. (If that'd be really the case I'd be really surprised... competitors already know almost all of their rival's products)
I rather think they are just embarassed of the poor quality of their code, or else they have something fishy hidden there

You also have to ask if it's even feasible for F-Secure to launch a native app currently. There are major under the hood OS updates in 1.09 and support for Qt 5.2, and as Jolla have chosen not to update SDKs prior to release of new updates, the SDK will be ~3 months old by the time it's updated (best case). There's no paid app support in the Jolla store (still) and complete silence on the issue, and there are still major strictures imposed on developers wanting apps in the Jolla store.
Jolla seem to be very behind with Sailfish generally, and their 'monthly' updates have flown out of the window, with it now being 10 weeks since the last update.
Is this an ecosystem and situation you'd be diverting resources to, in order to build a native app?
Also, in before the 'partnership' with Rovio results in Angry Birds Android app in the Jolla store, whenever they finally add paid apps.

So it seems that Younited client for Jolla will be an android app. That's rather disappointing
On the plus side NFC payment now works apparently

TI OMAP pulled out of consumer electronics. So is competitor no more.

Wrong. You're just making stuff up now. TI OMAP ceased to exist 2 years ago and only exists in legacy mobile / tablet products. They've withdrawn from the market completely. AFAIK their embedded systems products aren't called OMAP anymore.
