Good stuff! But where are the devices?
Sad to hear that Aquafish 2 is not in the plans, not that surprising though.

Techcrunch article:

"And while Saarnio says he remains confident that, over the longer term, consumers will also come around to seeking a privacy-focused alternative to Android, for now he concedes there is no mass market for Sailfish — and confirms there are currently no plans for Intex to do another Sailfish device — hence Jolla’s pivot of focus to b2b2b and b2b2g licensing partnerships."

Cool announcement. Wish it'd mean a 4G Sailfish officially launched and supported phone that would work in the North American markets.

Sigh. So, it'll be two years to the next device which will be a fallout from a Russian government vanity project.

Can we have Nokia back in charge please?

Version I heard ended up with "Invisible idiot"
