It really does look too good

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

They reallly have to come up with something BIG if they plan too take >2% of the market in two years....

If they even success to sellout Nokias upcoming WP phones I am happy....

Mostly because I want to see Elop FAIL!

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

The more I read about Jolla, the more I fail to see what they are doing.

What we need is something solid. I still want to know who is wasting the millions for this great course.

Nice concept :)

You can't see anything about what Jolla is doing yet. No point in speculating.

Android applications for Jolla with ACL-technology
Here is the secret weapon of Jolla

Finnish Jolla Mobile wants to develop a better smartphone, which immediatly has a lot of applications. The company's secret weapon, has today appeared in the magazine 3T, which is acl-technique for the upcoming MeeGo phone so Android applications can also be used.

Jollas Mobile's President and CEO Jussi Hurmola does not want to even announce the Android applications support. He reveals, however, 3T-magazine that applications can be converted to Meego with ACL technology. Hurmola says that the smartphone will also support HTML5 and Qt-based applications.

Hurmola is convinced that Meegos transparency stimulates interest in both enthusiasts and professionals. He praises the multi-tasking better than competitors. Jolla promises a whole new experience.

"Our user interface is more modern than the Android and iPhone. They have remained static for five years, but can do better, "says Hurmola to 3T Journal.

Hurmolas, a former employer of nokia, favorite phones are the Nokia N900 and N9. Even still the user interface of those two phones can still be improved.

"We are taking smart phones forward from the current opening and closing applications based user interfaces," he explains.

The first smartphone Hurmola does not reveal much. He says that a touchscreen device with 3.5-inch screen feels small, so you can expect bigger with the upcoming phone. Device is assembled by a sub-contractor, but Jolla is also hiring device engineers and designers.

Jolla and CEO Jussi Hurmolas interview is published in its entirety in 3T-journal17/08/2012

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

3,5 is small, 4,5 is for kids. Need to be at least 4,8. Bigger screen is more important without keyboard. Don't go baby size, Jolla!

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Because waiting without speculating is boring... Could Jolla be aiming for something similar than what were the original plans for Harmattan?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

That would be nice together with a real keyboard.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Quite frankly I wouldn't like to lose the ability to handle my phone with one hand for "on the go stuff", such as maps, checking train times, etc., this is related somewhat with the size of the screen (and your hand), but also with the UI.

The N9 has been perfect for this so far, iPhone 4 is rubbish, and they are both the same size. I held a SGSII and it was "ok" (if it weren't for the UI, that is), I tried a SGSIII and I thought that was too much - walking with an umbrella in one hand and the phone in the other checking whatever you need to check is a drop risk at that size, for me at least.

Having said all this, I'd still like to have a better equivalent to the AirUI, for reading news and the like while your hands are busy eating breakfast ;-)

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

you just lacking skills. ;) Using galaxy note with one han is no problemas if you are using the right and dont holding the phone but instead just let it rest on your smallalest finger.

anyway... 4,0" is the most wanted size for jolla mobile according to this poll.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

If jolla support ACL I hope its thirdparty app cause I dont want that **** on my phone cause if I want android I go buy some androidphone!!!

what I want is FULL suppoet for linux an Qt...

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

ACL is not an app dude...Stop trolling please.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

There's been a lot of interesting Tweeting today. :)

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I agree i want a phone not a brick in my hand. 3.9 on N9 is not bad i think 4.0 or 4.2 would be great, And yeah the 4.8 On galaxy S III for me very uncomfortable to use with 1 hand

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

A lot of Nokia employees or should i say ex-employees have resigned from Nokia. Some said it was just a click of a button to confirm resign. And some began talking about community, new challenges and Jolla. Should be interesting

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I just hope that somehow us N9 users will benefit from their Apps :)

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Here is the ACL page at openmobile

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I can't see their architecture on their page, but I surely don't want any kind of proprietary black box framework on the device by default, if anything it should be optionally installable for those who need it for some reason. (In the worst case it should be safely uninstallable).

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I am promoting via twitter mount/chroot easy of use in Jolla OS so Easy Debian could be install/run as simple as in N900 and simpler than in N9/N950. See also another twitter post.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Without any credentials is questionable. Most often mount requires sudo. And there is nothing wrong with that, since you don't want some malware going around (un)mounting stuff or messing up with your filesystems.

Tweets from Jolla CEO:

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I wanted to say : no Aegis and need to install open mode kernel or Inception in MeeGo Harmattan. sudo use is ok, like in Maemo 5.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

The main problem of Aegis was total lack of control from the user (even with sudo access). That kind of thing is surely not needed. If some security framework will be used it should better allow admin users to set access privileges.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

It amazes me that people still believe anything OpenMobile has to say....
They're scam artists IMO, if you've been following them closely in the threads here/FMC & elsewhere over the last yr or so you'd know what I mean.
Besides, shortly after all the news that Jolla's definitely using OpenACL, even Jussi tweeted that their apps strategy hadn't yet been publicly shared.
I think Jolla Mobile's going to have a hard focus on how best to leverage the Qt & HTML5 ecosystems.
But secondary to that, they may also have some sort of compatibility layers for BBX and iOS apps...
There's already a compatibility layer on BBX for iOS apps that's made by a certain individual (not RIM) which hopefully will be usable by Jolla.*
Jolla implementing one for BBX apps should be relatively trivial, or perhaps they'll devise a tool that more-or-less converts them to native apps?

*I'm yet to chase this up more, someone on Twitter told me about it.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Hybris.....

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Buttons on the device's front face, no. I agree.
But a qwerty slide out keyboard would be awesome.

I still drool for the Nokia logo though. Jolla... seems random : /

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Why not create a forum or a simple web page. That would be so much better in every way?

How about this one?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

fugly...........
something with sharp corners please, like current xperia line and not this soap looking thing.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I personally like some buttons, and think they can be useful. For example, volume buttons so I can adjust volume of a call or music without turning on screen or looking at the phone. I much prefer button for camera zoom/focus/shot over "touch the screen to take a pic" most phones are using these days. etc.

I could use my N95 to text and write emails while phone was in my pocket, without even looking at the screen :)

That being said, the normal "android buttons", home, back, menu, can be made obsolete by on-screen elements or gestures (like N900 does).

Jolla world to announce they phone 7 september 2012 and will get more media attention than nokia world.... :D

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I wonder what Marko Ahtisaari thinks of Jolla.
I believe somewhere deep inside he is happy with MeeGo being alive thanks to Jolla team.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

This seems to be like the Tizen. First lots of information, trolling, and stuff. then...NOTHING!

What is going on?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

he dont give a **** bout meego. He probadly got alot more money from elop to design wp phones.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

It's because they announced Jolla pre-maturely.

The CEO said they planned to make an announcement much later but after the P.R.1.3 release and the whole news of MeeGo being dead they had to come out and say that's it's not dead.
