As it happens I did some pretty ground-breaking work for the first version of ubiboot while travelling by train from Helsinki to Oulu.

Apple really is making every effort to integrate their iPod / iPhone / iPad experience with their OS X experience, and I give them credit for that. But yeah, iOS is its own weird system, not the same as OS X, with different apps and a different UI.
Man, why does it have to be different? Why do I have to give up my desktop applications? (This is a question for Sailfish as well, I guess...)

A 5" device with a slide-out keyboard and an N950-like slider mechanism would be perfect.
So maybe vice versa: Jolla licencing SFOS and Nokia updates the N950 hardware.

Of course, but a public transport is far from ideal for any mental work. Maybe read a book or listen to some music while commuting?
I just can't imagine doing any serious work that is so noisy and moving etc.

Speak for yourself. Perhaps it's a knack you develop but I've been known to switch off from others for hours on trains. Some of my best work has been coding on long train journeys, especially if there's no wifi to interrupt.

I wonder if the porting to Android devices would have been given more attention and official support in there was no Jolla device to sell. Are there any devices that have every component working in their ports yet? If there was a model where you could get a basic Sailfish OS working with a nice installer, basic apps, full control of your device and more performance without the Android bloat to rejuvenate old devices, then you could attract whoever isn't happy with what Android did for them without asking today.
Then you add a Sailfish store with paid apps, including the current licensed parts like Alien Dalvik and the text prediction, and you could actually make money. It'd be a stronger business model than Cyanogen even. You could open source much more of Sailfish too without worrying about your revenue stream.

If meego had died there, we would have the same situation we have now: a duopoly. So no difference in there.
If jolla never existed; where would the difference be?
Assuming libhybris would have been created (that is, before the operating system) a hypotetical jolla-like company , would have had better chances by focussing excusively to skip hardware development and focus on existing hw. This would have allowed them to keep costs at a bare minimum, which would have given them more runway,as well as avoiding hyper-hyped underperforming devices.
Sure, perhaps the initial set of HW would have been extremely limited to start with; but most likely enough to attract attention from operators (and perhaps HW vendors), given the high differentiation from the top two.
