Sure, but I guess my hidden point is that open sourcing things isn't the solution for everything and people will suddenly drop all their projects and work on Sailfish.

The browser in particular is a hot hate target (see other TMO threads) and yet not many people bother with it.

Not to mention there are a number of native alternatives:

https://github.com/llelectronics/webcat
https://github.com/Dax89/harbour-webpirate
https://github.com/tworaz/quicksilver

All the native apps are replaceable, if you don't like them then write a replacement.

[OT]I for one don't bother because I have alternatives that work better. Not so much for Phone or Messages.[/OT]

That is nice and comfortable way compared to the way I hold my Jolla. Dropped it last week. It was third time I dropped it in a way that broke glass.

First two time just gave a broken line each time. This lastest drop created a screen with few dozen broken lines. Now it is like a jigsaw puzle of pain peeling the skin of my fingers. No spare parts left, said the official repair shop.

The dream is dying. To be honest it already died on Elopcalypse. Jolla just gave me few more years to dream.

I'm changing tempered glass protectors on every serious drop, but the screen is still fine.

grab a new Jolla for €169 or get a NEXUS5 to extend the dream

reading through the HADK. Am currently trying to port to Nexus 5x with no luck.

The community ports are starting to get pretty good but without an Android layer, Sailfish is not viable for many.
nope no android, although some are getting closer to getting it to work, but that's no guarantee.

But theres some cool stuff happening like Tworaz's work on getting the Chromium engine to work on Sailfish. The showcase browser works better than all the currently developed browsers.

I think his work + Dax's UI would make something special.

If anyone does check it out, its best to install all the packages and then restart phone. also theres no UI back button, its just a left or right swipe.(cant remember which side.)

Re: Jolla at Slush 2015
 
but is it just a browser? how is it related to android support? in a similar way of cromeos
