A Phone For The People - An Interview With Marc Dillon, CEO of Jolla
Jolla is a new branded mobile phone company. While at the same time they are also developing the Sailfish operating system. So basically it is like Google and Android, just not as big, yet.
Sailfish will be an open source operating system and hence will be available for a multitude of other devices and manufacturers to use.
Going to announce a flagship device in the first part of 2013 and launch it before summer.

^ Also 
"So I asked Marc if I could run it on my Galaxy S3, to which he calmly replied:
'Enabling Sailfish for a device such as Galaxy S3 is something that any community member could already do.'
This kind of openness is enticing."

You could use the right-side peek feature to look at the notifications.

The WOW effect

"The fifth hardware feature we wish to see, is an additional business version of the base model which is just like the base model, but has a slidable physical keyboard. This was already very well made in the Nokia N950 phone, which unfortunatly was circulated in even smaller amounts than the N9. Jolla team knows how it was done. Please make it again!"

Widgets are a simpler form of Jolla's application covers, so the Jolla way of doing it is more powerful, more flexible and available for every application you have, not just a handful like on the N900 so most of the features you mentioned are/will probably be available on a Jolla device cause of application covers. RSS feeder? Just put the RSS feeder application on the homescreen.
Their way of doing things is definitely fresh and new to me, it has some of the flavor of Harmattan but it feels its a totally different level.
I think its still too early to tell whether Sailfish will or won't have some of the features you listed but it sure looks promising to me.

Whatever Jolla says about this revolutionary concept seems like marketingbabble to me. What they have is a half-balked cross between a functional widget and a fluid, flexible multitasking view. In the end, neither of those works really well from what I see in the videos.
Having a mini-version of my media player right on my desktop makes my yawn. When did we first have this? On the 770 in 2005? Come on. What I need on the homescreen is a RSS-reader, shortcuts to 5-10 of my favorite contacts (indicating their online status), an email inbox, a scrolling statusnet widget, weather, on/off switches for bluetooth, dlna, nfc, FM-transmitter an thelike, and then of course shortcuts to my favorite applications and websites. I want to pin those to the homescreen, arrange them to my liking and be sure they never change position. I want the contacts shortcuts to be small squares, the size of my fingertip, showing only a person's face, while the email inbox needs to strech over the whole screen width so I can always read the whole subject.
I know I cannot really live without these features because I miss them on the N9. So much, in fact, that I only use the device once a month or so to give it yet another try.
Now they try to re-invent the wheel, which is OK. But I don't think it's necessary that they tell us how groundbreaking and new it's gonna be.
