It certainly looks like that to me. See the leftover photoshop artifacts at the bottom of the phone. You can also see it's a retweet.

From the above:

At this point, we were mostly where we wanted to be for the Sailfish Document Viewer.
Not the same mistake as with the N9 i.e. no document editor and only a viewer shipped. Guess now the Android compatibility layer has one good reason to be included

I sure hope it's going to be the full office suite and not just a viewer.
I have no intrest really to use android apps if native are available

Full suite imo only makes sense on larger devices. I never had the urge to edit documents on my N9. When I do want to edit documents, I'd rather have full, no compromises Calligra or Libreoffice and use a keyboard + mouse/pointing device.

(Also, I don't have a tablet, because I find the current crop pǝpɹɐʇǝɹ. They have full HDs screen, are more than capable of running full desktop OSses, some of them can even dock keyboards with touchpads, but thanks to their limiting OSses can't even run the LibreOffice. I really like the concept of KDE's Plasma Active, and be able to seamlessly "transform" from tablet-use to laptop-use.)

Just keep nudging them directly, although now I guess it's too late, they've probably decided to go one way or the other.

True, but that "high potential sales" could be a problem.

I mean "ten tousands preorders" is not directly high volumes...

They got only about 100 employees. It's plenty enough for covering the costs of their business.

For having only two corporate clients. It's plenty enough.

Anybody thinking that they'll be Apple or Google? Ridiciously small number. Neglible.


Then again, I just want a semi-decent phone. Already have the t-shirt. So ****ing tired of arm chair business analysis.

Well, I don't mind libhybris if that's the only option. May be Intel chips will soon blow ARM out, and the next Jolla handset will sport an Intel GPU with open drivers The whole ARM industry is just sick.
