After some googling I found "Apk Extractor" for Android. I installed it my Nexus 7 and used it mail me Yle Areena, Netflix and Linux Journal app apk files. I installed those using the Email app on Jolla.

Yle Areena seems to work for VoD but not for live streams. The live streams take long time to start and have serious rendering problems. The VoD programs have a slight out-of-sync voice problem. I was using 3G connection when testing this.

Netflix works but has more serious out-of-sync voice problem. I had to enable WLAN temporarily to get Netflix to detect network connection (general Android app bug at Jolla). Otherwise I used 3G data connection.

Linux Journal app also works. Little slow as general feeling but much faster on ad pages than Documents app with Linux Journal PDF magazine. Still 3G data connection.

Works, I have Sandisk Ultra 64GB card. Had it formatted as vfat, but I have always wanted to try using something better. Saw your question so decided to try it out.

I formatted it as btrfs when the card was installed. Normal
mkfs.btrfs -command works. If you do not suply any options, mkfs.btrfs detects sd card as a ssd-drive and adjusts options accordingly.

I copied some music (ogg-vorvis files) via scp and the media player detects them just fine.

I use only linux on all my devices, so btrfs is not a problem for me if I need to use the card with one of my computers.

As far as i know mounting the btrfs flash drive with -o ssd is essential for the proper data storage on the flash drive.

If jolla does not mount it with those options may be ext2 is a better choice for the card?

I tested with Sandberg bluetooth keyboard. No go with same symptoms. Pairing succeeds and the keyboard is shown as a keyboard device, but nothing reacts to inputs.

Too many bugs, too many issues with SDK and nowhere to report to. This should not be released to public as user product but under Dev-category. (I know they are trying to save it by adding a beta tag)

I'm disappointed. Good luck to you all. I'm waiting at least another year to give sailfish a go as a developer or user. It's way to immature for an unreal price tag.

Are text messages, contacts, documents etc still indexed by tracker? And is there a global search interface, like there is on the N9 (and Symbian/N95)? I actually like that functionality.

Good for you, but you can't expect normal people to go into dev mode and use the terminal for file management.
If the N9 (I don't have one) doesn't come with a file manager, how do normal people manage files on it? I mean I'd just file (or feel) deprived of essential control over my device.
Are there good file managers for N9 in existence now? Any ports to Sailfish in the works? Anyone announced a new one for SF?
Man I still can't believe it, that's like treating the user worse than Apple does.

If so, I reeeeeeeally hope they used a new version of Tracker. Tracker in Fremantle is soo broken.
And +1 for global search, it's a must for any decent OS. In fact, all lists of everything should be power-searchable (best part of having a hwkb; possible, but not as nicely, on a vkb)

No. Such a thing is a large can of worms (hard to do, hard to do performantly). If you ever experienced smartsearch sucking up your battery on the N9, that's why.

This doesn't mean it won't ever happen, but it isn't there now.
