It seems that part is to do with Dalvik, so for legal reasons no it couldnt. Its not a free thing so Nokia would have to pay for Dalvik to run on the N9.

Saying that, if Jolla are partners with Dalvik AND the N9 gets a semi-official sailfish OS port from Jolla, then we could have the android app compatability

Re: No Sailfish Update for N9, really?

@godofwar424 Jolla is partners with Myriad. so that part is done. But I don't see them releasing a semi-official sailfish for the N9.
And for this community to bring dalvik to Meego Harmattan.... It would be stealing right?

also side question, anyone know would be the general hardware requirements of sailfish? if it was ported to the N9, would it be able to be run smoothly?

As much as agree with you mike, it does look like they are already testing on a variety of devices from their announcement.

Just check out the devices that they are holding at 3.30-4.00

no matter what devices jolla is using for their initial internal os testing you will never see them giving those versions of their OS to public

This I fully understand, however it does raise a couple of questions...

Why do jolla have a team dedicated to porting sailfish to so many devices?

and...

If they are just for testing, why are they testing devices such hp touchpad and the Raspberry Pi?

Granyed I know that scalability can be a big selling point for any OS, so who are they selling to and what are their interests?

Re: No Sailfish Update for N9, really?

Also don't forget that showing the UI of some OS on some arbitrary device is an entirely different thing from supporting all the hardware (e.g. telephony) of that device. There's binary-only drivers involved which (in most cases) are diffcult if not impossible to work around.

So don't hold your hopes up too high for fully supported 3rd party devices (officially nor inofficially).

Re: sailfish for n9

Install Nemo first and then when the sailfish UI sources are available just build that on top of Nemo. That should do it :D

Re: sailfish for n9

Could possible merge all jolla threads to the big thread in off topic?
