Just kidding. 
Anyway we are discussion about this cryptic message and getting a teaser, but maybe I am too excited.

For me it sounds like the device and the user combined are the 'whole'.
You, the user, are the other half.
Well, we will see...
I got a feeling going too deep with this one probably isn't wise, but hey, that's part of the fun.

I wouldn't say they have showed us Sailfish! they have showed us a sneak peak. It's not enough information for preorder.
They havn't showed us anything real yet.
I've always found trolling through the Meego OBS package changes a very fulfilling experience......
In fact the Jolla team have been quite "open" about the sort of things we might see in Sailfish
edit:
Of course, not forgetting Mer! knowing who's who in the jungle can tell you a lot about what's being worked on.

Interviewer:
What are you basic thoughts about QWERTY based devices
they are not so popular in market today because there are non of them
Marc Dillon:
I see that there is a need actually. Consumers can only buy what's offered to them. There don't seems to be any real bussiness oriented devices available at the moment, so I would like to see more QWERTY based devices.
I know that there are a lot of people want it and we're getting asked all the time.
This whole generation is growing up now with touchscreen only devices, they dont even really understand or know, because they haven't been exposed to what you can do
This is great news!

I don't understand why people are hating so hard on the compatibility layer eh? Because you know making developers write applications for the N9 worked out for ****ing great didn't it.
Only people who really loved the device stayed with it, while it aged and hardware overtook it quite quickly. Maybe that's because it was a still born thank to Elop. But Jolla unlike Nokia can't afford to this wrong, if they don't gain enough momentum with their release its game over. So it's better for the device to have applications out of the door, rather than them being written from scratch and developers being scarce.
I appreciated the the work that developers put into the N9 I honestly did, cutetube was so much better than its Android Official equivalent. But at the same time, that's one applications that can easily be ported and the users can make a choice what they want to use. If Android applications run well and fast and integrate with no issues people really need to just stop the hate.

Add to that, a complete lack of advertising for the platform and absolutely NO incentives by Nokia, and there's why.
It's not a matter of hate for ACL (a few purists excluded) but genuine interest and concern for the means of integration with the core OS and UX, which are all valid.
ACL (like Android Player for BB10) is another tool and provides a little bit of leverage for any fence sitters who may be holding back on purchasing because they can't publicly distribute a photo of some stirfry they bought from a street vendor in Bangkok.....

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolla

As Jolla's Sailfish OS use the Mer core distribution then it can be used with various hardware, like ARM or Intel and many others. It is possible because the Mer core distribution does not contain neither a kernel nor UI, but libraries above kernel and below UI layers. To make a working Linux distribution a specific kernel compatible with a particular hardware and a UI (like Jolla UI in Sailfish) are to be added - this creates the distribution of Linux MeeGo Sailfish OS for particular hardware. Also this allows Sailfish OS with appropriate kernel to work on every hardware. Because of open source basis and rules it can be used by all interested in using of those solutions e.g. to adopt for a particular hardware or any special needs

Now I get it!
