I got the feeling the app is not yet ready, only beta state, and the reason for that is probadly that Jolla has stopped pay the consult company for continue development of app... (because Jolla need more income first...)

FFOS is doing even better than Ubuntu in that respect, although it can't really be compared to Sailfish/Tizen/Ubuntu, far less capable etc.
When it comes to hand-helds, Tizen no longer seems to be interested in getting 3rd parties on-board, for now...
But Samsung will make it far more visible to potential hand-held partners with the arrival of it's Gear wearables that use Tizen instead of Android.

Not wanting to talk things down, but assuming there's been competitive progress*, some "light thrown on this subject" by Jolla is overdue.

*I dare not think the worst
And thats kinda sad. The only reason is the name. More people knows about ubuntu. Even if it for sure will be less stable and look as ugly as Android...

No one said it was ready AFAIK. Those who make sw knows very well that stuff have to be tested before release...

You can't compare a hobby SoC with mainstream SoC's or do you mean Jolla shall use Broadcom in they'r next device? AFAIK Broadcom does not have any highend SoC. And as we already know not even TI Omap singel/dualcore SoC(pandaboard/N9xxx/BeagleBoard) has open drivers.

The reality still is the big players(Microsoft, Samsung, Google) are writing the bussines rules...

Anyone noticed that all the Jolla apps are updated yesterday, 11th in Jolla store. (Excluded Android Support)
Something much awaited is coming soon, I think.

However, the Store doesn't offer any updates to the apps.

Yep, it does give that impression. Sort of a taster for what could have been ...

Dunno if anyone noticed this, but one of the demo device that was being shown at MWC had 4G
