But: less need for antialiasing and subpixel rendering.

I'm pretty sure how android apps would multitask is the app is kept in a frozen state, like how it works in android, and QT apps will have the true multitask.

I think Android apps are not always frozen when put to background. You can say let a webpage load in Opera switch to some other app, go back and it is loaded. Sure, if it is long in background, it will probably be frozen or killed.

Speaking from the experience with my HP TouchPad running CM9.

the thing that i dont like about N9 is the CPU capabilities and GPU capabilities.

this SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon seems to have better CPU&GPU capabilities, maybe can watch 720p movies in phone

anyone know detail on GPU specs?

All these UI purists..
I am quite frankly disappointed.. they are charging way too much for hardware that is rather outdated.
I really want one because of Sailfish OS and its heritage.. but specs that low for that price are not going to get buyers.

$300 for a nexus 4 with 2gb ram, 768x1280 display, a 1.5ghz quad core and 16gb storage vs Jolla phone approx $540, 1.4ghz dual core, 1gb ram, 540xsomething display, and 16gb storage.

Its not going to get many spec concerned buyers thats for sure.

It's $540 including 24% VAT (Finland), which doesn't seem to be included in your Nexus price. The Nexus is approx. $450 here in Germany including 19% VAT.

It's not the cheapest offer from jolla, but quite remarkable for such a small company. If final specs and build quality is decent, it could appeal to quite a few people.

I dunno, this trashy windows phone I'm using now runs great with 512mb RAM. It comes down to how the OS handles background apps and services.

yup right. many geeks prefer specs over OS unfortunately.


EDIT :

IIANM, Jolla said their phone will support LTE..

according to Wiki, the closest possible Snapdragon chip for Jolla phone might be :

Snapdragon S4 MSM8960


same chip as Lumia 1020/925/920, HTC EVO 4G and Z10

1GB RAM + true multi-tasking OS = future problems if the OS and apps are not optimized...
