Their missing out a lot on paid apps. I know not everyone agree on this but any eco system would need free but also paid apps.
No one actually needs "apps" (except -maybe- if you think that a cellphone has to be a gaming platform).
You need at most a few "killer apps" for those things you actually need to do using a cellphone and that cannot be reliably done in the cellphone browser. That said, you don't want to pay for "apps" when free alternatives are good or even better.
This seriously limits the "paid apps" field. I think Jolla guys were right to not to waste resources on the apple-styled memes (paid apps, in-app purchases, and so on).

They don't have to make promises, but just tell us which devices are also planned to be supported.
(arrrrrgh, my brand new F5121 already sports a bump before installing SF X!).
What if they publicly "plan to support" a model and then something bad happens? (say, "we can't get reliable wifi support": you can live without bluetooth, but you can't live without wifi...).

I'm inclined to think likewise @alfmar does really...
I already have pretty much what I need on SFOS and cannot really imagine what plusses would paid apps bring to the platform.
The few bits and pieces missing I can fill up myself pretty neatly.

Paid apps for tablets would be great, but at current sailfish os tablets are reasonably non-existent so who would buy it?

No thanks!
Jolla needs masses and masses are addicted to those kind of services.
