That's true, but it works only if you can actually saturate those cores. Judging by my desktop, I rarely see CPU usages higher than 13% (quad core with H.T.). Only some specialized apps like rendering or games or video processing can make good use of this CPU.

In fact, I'd rather have a 5GHz dual core than this 3,4GHz quad; even if the maximum computing capacity would be lower, in most situation it would actually be faster. And I don't think this will be much different on a mobile platform.

Also, as we know, the biggest drain on smartphone battery life is what the phone is using when idling. As such, ARM's Big.Little architecture is ideal for smartphones.
I'm also not really convinced by that. The radios are much more demanding. And the screen even more so. If I leave my N9 in flight mode, with LPM disabled, I reckon it could have a battery life of over a week. Now I get barely 3 days, with LPM on, radios on and some light app and browser usage.

So, a more efficient standby-mode might yield few hours extra battery live during those 3 days. Nice to have, but not a break-through, IYAM.

I believe he was speaking only with regards to CPU's... some good points nonetheless...

True: my N900 is laying around, connected to wifi but not syncing anything (ie, no mail), and without sim, and it has at least 5 days of battery life

Here's a look at Sailfish development!

This Youtube clip from Florian Schweikert was retweeted by thp. It shows Sailfish homescreen functionality on large touchscreen:

Well they could, but that'd prob. mean he's being paid substantially more than senior personnel, who've agreed to be paid no more than everyone else.
Unless he was willing to take a bit of a cut....

he is still in bed with stephen elop and probadly will be. He doesn't give a **** what os his design is on same for that other n9 design chief.

peopl are naive if they think design folks is for open source. Designers are just designers not swgeeks. And those paying them most money can hire them. Jolla def not has chance take him or similars not until they get bigger...
