Not likely given the lack of Fortran support. ;)

There might be no fortran, but python is still sailing strong afaik ;)

Yep, it is more likely a smart watch or smart car if they follow the latest trends :)

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 

Predictions
1. Fairphone 2 will come with Sailfish beginning of next year
2. Securephone for authority use (police, government,etc. use)
3. Jolla HW company will start The-other-half phone crowdfunding
4. Intex release info for 2016
5. Tablet hype that it is already send for first users


one more thing...
!! Sailfish will become totally open during this year !!

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 

Nokia Sailfish phone announcment? :p probably not I guess :D

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 

I got in and watching Antti live! Excited!

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 

So, nothing today basically.
Whoops, tablet's late (we know that).
Partnership with Intex (we know that) but no announcements from them with regards to new hardware or anything.
And a startup accelerator program, which sounds great, but probably not what we're interested in on this forum.

So what of Jolla Hardware Division? Is that still a thing? Or are we just all about Intex now?

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 

The interesting part was that Intex will expand to western markets. Probably this means that there will not be another Jolla-branded device coming. It would be a sensible choice as they admitted they are too small to compete and scale up in device manufacturing.

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 

I already expected to be able to buy the Intex device here in the UK when it came out, but I guess confirmation and proper "expansion" is good.

But I'd really like to know, given Jolla Hardware Division is allegedly a thing, what is the nature of their involvement with Intex?
Is it a co-created device, with Jolla suggesting hardware features that play to the OS (e.g. AMOLED screen for LPM, curved edges for swipe ... stop me if you've heard this before / got an N9) or is it just hardware adaptation assistance, and the device form factor / features are dictated by Intex?

I'm trying to find someone who took a picture of the Intex slide on twitter but noone bothered (loads of all the other slides) - make of that what you will.

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 

Any link to the video for those who missed it?

About the Intex device: as far as the specs I have seen around are true, it does not look like a viable upgrade on the current Jolla phone. I am sure it will run Sailfish fine, but unless I break my phone I do not think I would rush to buy a new one with those specs.
