Great example, but I have to call in question how popular this truly is on a mobile device.
I ask out of curiosity and a true lack of numbers.

On the topic of the UI, I'm kinda hoping that it is not as smooth as the n9. In fact it I'm partly wishing for that "almost broken" feel of the n900, that was a big drive towards the modding scene with the QBW threads and design boards. As beautiful as the swipe UI is, it feels a little bit humdrum knowing that everyone else's looks the same.

Well since Nemo mobile has been working fine on the n9, and this is a long shot, but if jolla mobile is fully open it can be ported to the mer core

I have downloaded files with aTorrent (sgs3, ics) in the background while doing other things like www browsing and photo shooting on the foreground. Multitasking or "multitasking" is no issue in high end Android phones for practical things.
To succeed really, for example right now, JollaMeego should be installable to the top end smartphones like sgs3. Because Android will continue to be more open and better "real multitasking" OS, (if) with inferior hardware specs, Jolla-phones may not make it. Samsung prolly will bring Tizen installable to its high end Android phones eventually.

Picking out the separate threads that have come up in recent weeks, it would seem that MeeGo is going to be at the centre of a convergence of sorts, able to run applications/apps from multiple platforms...

iOS - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...08#post1236908
Tizen - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ighlight=tizen
Android would be a possibility if the ACL can be exported from Tizen.

Okay... this I can totally see happening. But a torrent on my phone? I can't say that I've been personally enticed to do that.
But then, you could also just have power profiles (power saving / normal / power burning) and let the user decide. Or directly let the user decide, and let him not start a torrent app when he doesn't need to (this sadly doesn't work with buggy apps that eat CPU while you don't expect them to).

Another use-case for not killing background processes is on-device development. Lets say I'm on the train, doing some coding, and then compile my project. The last thing I want is for the process to be killed off because I have left it compiling in the background while I'm doing something else.
One of the reasons I was initially drawn to the N900 was because it is a fully functional computer that can fit in my pocket. IMHO a mobile computer should be able to do everything any other computer can do. Yes there are hardware limitations on a mobile device - I know that compiling on the device will be slow and will reduce my battery life but I don't have a problem with that.
I accept the hardware limitations but I don't want artificial software limitations imposed on me by sub-standard multi-tasking.
Given that Jolla's core is Mer, I expect it will have proper multi-tasking anyway.

Hey,
What do you think about this:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/...kia-defection/
contrasted with:
http://www.intomobile.com/2012/07/11...ext-available/
"Been going to China every month for about a year"
Coincidence?
