One more point: there has been many startups like these in Finland, and they didn't lead to anything. The main idea was to pump subsidies from the Finnish state for a few years, and then shutdown.

Not if it's better.

I think iOS and WP got the simple, fast UI covered. I would welcome a bit more complex UI (don't mean this in a negative way).

Who knows, excited anyways to see what they get together.

I will surely miss swipe UI and Swype keyboard. But still, this will be the next thing to look forward to.

And... Even as they can't officially do swipe clone, community might be able to do unofficial modification for swipe clone.

Some examples would be nice.
Never heard about this kind of firm with around 100 employes making both hardware and software and by the looks of it will have something to show us very soon. Year after the company was founded i can already tell that this one will get way more attention than those "other" companies.

Only similar company i can think of was that company making reference hardware designs with Intel inside to MeeGo and Android. Smaller company that i heard 4 years after it was started.
Jolla probably had more attention in a first hour today in Twitter.

I really can't use a phone with buttons any more. Swipe UI ha changed the way i interact with a phone.

It would be a shame to let it go =[
