Take your pick:

I guess it's somewhat equal in finnish? anyone?
Yes and no. In this day and age, only the teens.

I needed to take a picture today and the only thing I had to hand was my Jolla. It took at least 12 seconds(!) to start the camera. I admit I did not time it with a stopwatch but after I waited for what seemed like ages I started counting in my head: "One elephant, two elephants..." The 12s was only from the point when I started counting.
Oh yes you are correct In less than 1s.
Meltemi's secret was that it killed the app every time it was swiped to "background". It could have only one app open at the time.

My friend sends me a text while I’m browsing a web page. I’ll swipe away the browser and go to recents where I tap on the notification. Wait 1 second to open messages app. Decide to reply with a photo. Tap on “attach” icon. Wait 1 second to start Gallery. Pick a photo. Gallery closes. Wait one second to load back the message editor (it got killed when I went to Gallery, remember?). Choose to add another recipient. Tap the plus icon. Wait one second for contacts. Choose a contact. Wait 1 second that editor reopens. Press send. Messaging closes. Swipe up for “multitasking bar”, tap on browser. Wait 1 second for browser to load. Continue from where you were.
With proper transition animations those seconds are not as bad as they sound and the UI feels fluid.

I am not sure that Kataya runs on Meltemi. The prototypes we saw here have UI/icons that look like the Asha, Symbian and MeeGo.

Kataya is something else probably... Some say a custom Android to look like iOS a bit. hmm...

^ Glorious design.
Like N9 as a tablet; seems tobe the same sort of hard plastic cover.
Pretty sure that is a full-size USB port.
The device is thick compared to current standards.

That Rebel camera on the next page seems really interesting!

^ all sorts of products are labeled in a seemingly illogical manner, esp. operating systems and graphics cards (seriously, the way Nvidia number their cards makes it impossible to even guess at which era they come from... smh).
Or Windows: 95...98...2000 makes sense so far? OK, enough of that: XP...Vista...7...8 good! we're back to sequential numbers! so Windows 9 is next, right? Right?

...somehow I don't think there'll be a Windows 11 next...
