We'll have a ‪#Devaamo‬ hackday with @jollamobile sometime next month. Check back soon! ‪#Jolla
Might be an interesting event for those of us who are in Finland. Devaamo is pretty much the same people who organized the Finnish MeeGo Summit last year.

It's just so much more powerful. Given that jolla may have to target the more geeky users instead of going for the iPhone market segment, I'd say oversimplifying things (as the N9 does sometimes) shouldn't be on their agenda.

but i still want to be able to close apps or move them to multitasking with swipe motion

Windows 8 can do that. Not funny! Time to come up with something new and better

M$ would just waste their time suing the new MeeGo xD at this point in time MeeGo is no threat for them, tbh it would be better for them if MeeGo would kick off well get fame for them to sue later on

That's my point.

Hm, I just wonder what is this doing in "Competitors". TMO is not bound to Nokia, or is it?

Not bound to nokia, but the bills are paid by nokia, at least until next new year.

The original article strongly implies it but sadly, Bernd said on FB:
"We did _not_ get patents from Nokia. The article was, as Riitta Pessi correctly points out, mistranslated, and then spread rapidly."

W8 will "success" reason is most people are stupid followers and Microsoft cant make it fail so they will markettting it as hell.

But who cares! If Jolla only gets 2% of the market its a BIG success. So I personally dont give a **** if MicroNokia will sell better as long as Jolla is Linux based an as open as possible.

So if WP8 doesn't work out and Jolla look to have a solid product, maybe Nokia would look to them for their new product line.

I think Jolla is Jolla and not part of Nokia is for reason already. And if they work with Nokia, it might always happen that another Elop will come and ruin things.

It depends on what of the SwipeUI. Swipe to close or minimize is a must :)

On Playbook i have to close using the close button at the top and I HATE it. Its so stupid way on a tablet/phone.

But I think they can take that without Nokia can do something about it cause that is an innovation taken from WebOS.
