We don't use the same sharing UI stuff AFAIR. That one should probably be moved to nemomobile-graveyard. I'm not intimately familiar with the details, I'll try remember to ask someone to pop in here tomorrow with pointers to which code would be useful.

Because it seems to be possible to adjust the font sizes individually for each of the five text sizes, this feature seems to be even better than in my dreams. Let's hope that this feature is left in the Jolla phone.

While I won't comment on features that may or may not be present now or in the future, the presentation from the video is not a feature. The application there is a testing ground/demonstration tool of sorts, the "components gallery", and the font sizings there were just for demonstration purposes to get a feel for what different text sizes feel like.

any chance to get half-open, based on crippled XMPP stuff into the messaging app?
like a native messaging system working also as Whatsapp-client?

Similar disclaimers as usual about not commenting on possible or actual features, I will say this: our integration of anything which isn't an open service/open standards/is a brand is going to require communication, agreements and contracts with the people behind it. So using WhatsApp as an example, it wouldn't *just* be based about the technical possibilities as to whether or not we could include such a thing, even assuming we can polish the experience to a world class standard. They would also need to be OK with us doing that, on whatever terms they dictated.

That having been said: I don't think anyone would stop you from messing with something like this yourself. Quite the opposite.

... and if I am correct App developers should prefer to only use the predefined sizes in the Theme component

Maybe not really software related, but I do hope the Jolla phone will be more friendly to power from backup batteries, car chargers or solar powered chargers. I bought wonderful solar chargers from waka-waka.com. My N9 and N900 refuse to take more than a small drip, while a Samsung phone or a Garmin GPS charge normally. I even shorted one of my cables, and it didn't help. Dear people from Jolla, I will buy your phone anyway. But I do hope it will accept a solar charger!

Here are the apps that I was not able to find on the master list on page 1 (or maybe I'm not searching the right text), and they definitely should be on the list. I hope to see them on Jolla someday :-).

video editor (should be as easy to use as iPhone's built-in video editor)
ebook reader with support for epub, Kindle (azw, kf8), lit, and mobi
comics reader with support for all the popular formats (cbr, cbz, cb7, cbt, cba)
WordNet dictionary
AED (Advanced English Dictionary), or something as polished as this Windows Phone app
CamScanner, Genius Scan, or something similar to take photos of documents, automatically color/contrast correct and align them, noise reduce, and convert them into PDFs
planetarium app similar to Google Sky Map
famous quotes/quotations app
IMDb client
Wikipedia client
Kayak client
Wego client
SkyDrive client
Google+ client
Google Hangouts client
LinkedIn client
Gmail client
Yahoo! Mail client
Tincore game keys mapper
Amazon store app
Craigslist app
Groupon app
clipboard manager app like Clipper+ or Android
bubble level app
SPL meter to accurately measure decibels
find-my-phone app using GPS with ability to remotely lock/wipe phone
360 degree panoramic capture app similar to Photosynth

I apologize if any of these apps have already been mentioned deeper into this thread but did not make it onto the master list.

Cheers,
Tom

AFAIK there iust not even an open API by Google for this

Soo my guess is if u use that you have to use the android Apps.. (if google allows that)

Some good ones in your list above, but a lot of those are such that no "app" is really required, IMHO as they are really just broser frontends to a web service...?
