Yup, and his twitter profile doesn't mention the CTO title anymore.

And curiously doesn't seem to be 'aboard' either with this Jolla Adventures business (no mention of him in the web page and no tweets yet about JA from him).

That's a bit of a nebulous promise to pin too many hopes on. Plus not much word about ongoing support after (if) it launches.

Plus the Fairphone 2 hardware, while admirable, doesn't really entice me much as an upgrade from the J1. 2G RAM would be nice in order to placate the android runtime and OOM killer I guess.

With the Android layer? Legally licensed word completion and HERE maps?
Without the Android layer, for my uses, Sailfish on J1 is just a worse version of the N9.

those two are missing. but i suppose it depends what applications you want from android market. i dont really need any extra apps so the setup works for me.

although hear maps would be nice.

if you want a better Jolla phone why not just get a Nexus 5 and use the community port? Its my daily driver, has a quad core 1080p screen and 2gig of ram. It works perfectly.

...and it runs Android apps?

The community ports are starting to get pretty good but without an Android layer, Sailfish is not viable for many.

Near the end of the video (3:22) you can see a glimpse of the Intex phone:

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015

Not much to see as it's visible only for couple of seconds. But looks like TOH-concept is still there. Poppy red TOH on otherwise black device, so design language doesn't seem to differ much from current Jolla phone. Not thinnest device out there.... technically it should be superior to Jolla phone with better and bigger display and more RAM, but chipset is still unknown.

Another thing mentioned in that interview is confirmation that Jolla wants to have more Jolla branded devices for fans in the future, but the confirmation about new HW company etc. comes from share holders meeting, which is scheduled to happen in about one month. Also, they may be cooperating with Intex in manufacturing their own branded devices, which seems like reasonable choice.
