Even if that really was their official line all along*, it was always ridiculously ambitious to be launching at that point, so no, you can't use it as some kind of juvenile thing to point to all the time.
*which is extremely questionable

Golla sues Jolla over similar name
Finnish mobile phone accessory maker Golla is suing Jolla over the use of similar name. Golla justifies this because the brand has existed 12 years and they have spent over 2 million euros at registering the brand. Golla even says that they have not closed the possibility to make mobile phones at some point . . .

Same story posted some time ago by thedead, my thoughts there:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...71#post1313571
If you follow the source discussions, what they're gunning for sounds great...
But even they're not sure how truly united it could ever be in real-world terms, & whether that would even be practical/ideal.
It probably will end-up being unified on a much more superficial level, or if not, only a very small subset of components etc.

About Sailfish OS
How is Sailfish OS different from Android? Both are described as open source operations systems.
Android is controlled by a single corporation and not developed in a way which would allow to contribute to the whole OS from start.
Yes, via Alien Dalvik by Myriad. Many Android applications will run unmodified on Jolla devices. To benefit from Sailfish's user interface, developers have to port their applications.
Feedback has been clear and current video only shows a preview version and therefore not the final one.
No, but technically apps can be ported easily from Nokia N9.
Not officially, but Jolla is ready to help the community in porting Sailfish to Nokia N9. The user experience won‘t be the same though as on an original Jolla devices.
Yes.
Yes, non-graphical feedback will be available.
Yes, there is a place for notifications which will feel quite familiar to MeeGo Harmattan users.
That feature is dependent on the display technology of the device.
Jolla will have a standard solution. Details will be published at a later moment.
About application development
When will the Sailfish SDK (software development kit) be available?
Announced for early Q1 in 2013. Jolla is working hard on the SDK. More information here.
Focus on Qt & QML but also support for HTML5. At the moment Qt 4.8 (Qt 5 in future).
Since Sailfish is based on Mer, support will be there - otherwise easily installable.
RPM.
No Aegis.
Yes.
About Jolla
Having people in your team who previously worked on Nokia N9, will you provide any updates for that phone?
No, we can‘t do that. N9 is a Nokia product.
Sailfish OS is not exclusive. We will make devices that run Sailfish, but the operation system will be also licensable by others. ST-Ericsson for example has already announced support for Sailfish.
Initially focus is on smartphones, but Sailfish will be available to others which can create various devices.
When will Jolla launch their Sailfish phone?
Jolla plans to start selling their first device before summer 2013. Details are yet to be announced.
In what countries will Jolla phones be available?
Product or market availability is not announced yet.
Jolla's first focus on product distribution will be in Europe and Asia. US is not planned in the first stage.
No, but we have partner for that.
Jolla is exploring various funding options - stay tuned for more news.
D.Phone, DNA, ST-Ericsson, Myriad, Opera, Cyberport, Joiku, Invesdor, Tekes, Digia.
Will Jolla be present at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona in February?
No official answer, but possible.
That's part of the "unlike" idea. Check Jolla.com and click on the logo to comment/vote for your favourite one.

Thank you. But I could answer all these questions already. We need new answers/questions.

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:50.
Even if that really was their official line from July to Nov*, it was always ridiculously ambitious to be doing the full reveal at that point, so no, you can't use it as some kind of juvenile thing to point to constantly.
