Why not? Android would already be there.

This happens though, automatically solves my issue for not having access to the Jolla device in the US. And if it means I could put it on a HTC One (same chipset as the Jolla phone) then I'll have comparable performance. Nexus 5 might be even greater performance (better resolution in the least).

I don't see how this is immediately a bad thing, I see them testing out a possible delivery. But it'll invariably be limited to just UI and not include phone calls/phone stack I'd bet.

Either way, if this becomes a full-blown way to get the Jolla OS on my phone, I'm 100% there. I just don't see how this will get them money. Just numbers...
