I suppose buying a Shamsung entitles the customer to local software support such as rooting and installation of every available popular app on day of purchase?
Just trying to understand conditions in the area you describe.

Back on the topic, what is the point of all this deliberating? Of course Jolla cannot expect to compete with the likes of Samsung. Of course they cannot expect to sell millions of units. But they do not have to. All they need to do is sell just 20k. A drop in the ocean in such a huge market but it would double their worldwide sales figures.

As far as I am concerned, from a user viewpoint, I have never seen any benefit from having to weed through 200k rubbish applications to find those 5 to 10 I actually use on daily basis and the other 10 including games that I would eventually use from time to time.
PS looked it up tupac -> Tobacco Use Prevention and Control (TUPAC) : too much smoking and Android can be bad for your health

Jolla just needs to sell enough to have marketshare and a name that sticks around. Not that everyone will know about Jolla then, but more in the sense of that regular media will mention Jolla more often. You know, that you open up The Verge or just a tech site from your country and that every now and then you see the name of Jolla pass. Just like with most other brands.

I thought that Google no longer owns Motorola.

Now I do not know if this "Times Of India" is widely known/quoted media in India, but if it is then Jolla/SFOS has already gained some brand visibility there.

So, it comes with "some preloaded Android apps"? Sigh... I thought the customer was entitled with choice of stuff they want upon the first startup. Oh, Jolla, you strand yourself into unknown!

Probably it is easy to uninstall those as well as the android application compability layer which is excess anyway IMHO.
(I never installed it on my Jolla
)
research complete.
sorry for my bad english
