Even with those techies they had few decent presenters. They could have gone with those geeks that had decent communication skills, instead of throwing everyone on stage. That way they would still get the geek-streetcred and had decent presentations.
Not that I mind too much. Important thing is that they showed quite a bit stuff in todays two presentations. Lets see what we get tomorrow.

Good point; also dual core === more battery drainage.

I think that the basic UI concept is strong.
However, I am wondering how open the UI will be? Is it possible for community to tinker with things in there? Like make the homescreen rotate (if it does not by default) or add own UI elements (like make a status bar if somebody wants to have clock and battery status always visible)?

D'OH! There goes my EE exam :P
EDIT : actually, this applies *only* if the two CPUs do not run full speed all the time.
If you have them running 100% all the time, the battery drenage will be the same as the single CPU (obviously). But splitting the workload allows you to balance power significantly. Genius!

The vertical nagivation however (from the lock screen to the application grid) is in my opinion the wrong choice as it makes the path longer, at least for mobiles (because the height is usually much larger than the width...).
The fading effect of Jolla UI is mostly confusing.
Another problem is to mix the home screen and the application grid in one layer. It is neither obvious nor convenient to use.

For a startup, they are doing phenomenal for a first product. Give them a few years and they will dominate if they keep going. That is my humble 2 cents

if more than 4 backgroud app, it will go mini-window, like n9.
I mean... They want me to actually perform operations within those multitasking-views, they can't simply shrink them forever.
(Or is there a hard coded limit to multitasking...?)

. For the N9... There were too many corners ahead.. if i can say it like that
