I hope Xiaomi build the Jolla phone, the M2 is such an impressive device.

Whether they "play ball" like good citizens with the rest of the FLOSS community is up for debate, but I don't see any reason of accusing them of not being open source.
For sure I also have many doubts about the path they've chosen. But that's another topic.

How is the percentage of OS on the Asian market. What's oses are available. What's the expectation of tizen? Any talk about that os or other new ones.
How likely is that Jolla will attract 100000 buyers?
My guess would be that Jolla doesn't have much chance, every passing month it's getting later. They could be too late like these guys - make sure you check out their demo, it was way cooler than Sailfish and still died...

Any first generation OS is going to have an uphill battle on its hands, Sailfish included. Can it be done? Hmmmmm . . .
The Asian markets' Android focus may not be a problem, if Sailfish can straight up run ALL Android apps as Jolla claims. Then, those customers would not lose any investments they've made in Android apps by switching.
The real problem is longevity risk. If you buy into a smaller company today, like BB or Jolla, you face the risk that they will not be in a position to adequately support your device as long as you want it supported--kind of like Nokia's support of the N9 or N900.
Listen, the Emblaze Mobile UI is alllll that. I loved it, too, and hope it finds a way to market. They describe a cautionary tale. They didn't attempt market entry. I'm glad Jolla is at least trying, but Sailfish can't get here soon enough.

Just a thought. If it's a BIG partner, maybe it's HTC, since they're from China.

I think Sony are expanding and aggressively, so if BIG means world wide big I hope its SOny, but when jolla say BIG it could be a small fish and still be big to jolla.

There are plenty better alternatives, that should get attenttion by media, on both on desktop and mobile, in latter case sailfishos will be better thats for damn sure..

And dave, i do think Sony could license sailfish as their alternative os, I mean, why not? Sony loves sleekness, and sailfish sure is sleek.
