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 !!

;)

Well, that was disappointing presentation. Where is the hype that Dillion was so good at?!? Go and get one "Hype presenter".

Answering my own Predictions
1. Why Jolla does not do everything they can to get phones to consumers? Fairphone 2 would be good option for Jolla to work with...
2. What has happend co-operation with SSH from Slush#14?
3. According this interview Jolla HW company still exists and Jolla is discussing how to get new phone to market. Discussion possible co-operation with Intex helping Jolla HW to make new phone. News coming later (or never).

Own speculation is that there will be crowdfunded campaign and Intex is the manufacturer?
4. Partnership and phone to be sold out side India. No news about schedule?
5. Why they did not hype!? That's event to sell your products (even deliveries are late)!!

One more thing...
Why not to open Sailfish?!? Open it and people will come.

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015

Is it by accident or intention that there was a U-boat on a slide (twitter) shown in the third vale of tears? Could be a sign for a secret or hidden project a Jolla...

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015

I guess the fact only Antti Saarnio is on stage also means they have focussed the communication (i.e. no multiple sources). Nokia used to do the same. I remember Fredrikson (now F-secure CEO) speaking on stage and introducing lumia same year jolla introduced themselves on stage @ slush

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.

I'm interested. What's the easiest way to put SFOS to the Nexus? Can a beginner do it? Sorry for offtopic :o

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015

Another OT :)
I want the 8 Mpx version

Not everyone is interested to contributing to the browser, even though there have been significant outside contributions, as with the document viewer. On the other hand there are closed components with a lot of enhancement requests (messaging UI, lockscreen, email client, calendar,...) where I think contributions would be very likely - or are even already kinda happening via patches.
