maemo.org - Talk - #JollaLoveDay - 20th May

A new video posted on iltasanomat http://www.iltasanomat.fi/digi/art-1288566945106.html (in finnish)

Key points:

-android applications will support true multitasking too
-the other half can be used like work / free time profiles, ring-tones, including different email profiles, overall look of the device, and even different apps (the other half is recognized wirelessly)
-the concept is build the way it technically supports any add-ons
-you can buy more of these other halves in future

And it is mentioned that the other half concept enables things like adding more memory and such. The other half includes "special chip" is all they say.

How true that really is, I don't know.

Let's speculate a bit more about the big bezels and the overall large size of the device: What if it is intended to be larger than normal phones? I'm thinking about the modularity of the phone and the possible HWKB. Maybe they want the keyboard to be larger and in that way more user friendly (~E90 likish) with more area for the keyboard and larger buttons. Just thinking.. :)

E: maybe the real reason for the bezel in bottom of the screen is that it is for the android applications (menu, back button) but they are hidden in the UI

And the bit about "partners":

"Sailfish-puhelin tulee olemaan kumppanien mukaan räätälöity älypuhelin ja hinnaltaan Jolla-puhelinta edullisempi."

makes me think that it will be designed primarily for the needs of network operators.

So the screen resolution is not yet set nor is the dual core processor.

So I assume there be a lot of changes as form the video you saw how much the OS changed!

Lots of X factor in this phone. They should call it X Phone :D

What is the phone called by the way?

OK. Video was playing in the thumbnail, so having Xterm thumbail updating while minimized should be possible (there was some speculation that apps that run in the background are not allowed to update thumbnails IIRC). YAY for minipreviews ala maemo!!!

What about navigation? SOFTWARE? GPS? GLONASS?

I'd at least assume that SailfishOS is likely to be (ultimately) as customizable as Maemo. At least, that'd be the hope.

With that in mind... if and/or when they reveal for certain that there will be an external keyboard accessory - and one that DOESN'T require its own charging setup like pretty much every iPhone keyboard I've looked at - I'll likely pick one up as a replacement for my n900. But not one femtosecond earlier.
