The specs are clearly NOT differentiating Jolla from the rest of the crowd. What will??

Those of you who diss Android's multitasking, I suggest to just try one of the latests Android devices, for example Note 3, to see where Android is going.
As you mentioned, background tasks are possible on Android, by creating a service. Yeah, at least it is possible, unlike other popular OSses, but it adds to the complexity of programming. Writing something like an SSH terminal becomes quite a bit harder.
I guess Jolla will maintain the normal Android behavior for Android apps. I can't see much benefit in keeping Android apps running in the background, as they are written (or at least should) to handle the suspend/run/suspend-sequence. An option to override this per app would be nice though.
But what about Android widgets? Can we forget about them? Or do we get to see a Sailfish app which hosts Android widgets?

The other way/half is offering a smooth system with good multitasking and a few unique features. It's a one of a kind unit (like N9, but more polished...hopefully) unlike all the common stuff out there.
I love underdogs and unique stuff. It's the oceans unicorn....the Sailfish!

If you're looking for a cheap stop-gap take a look at the Huawei Ascend Y300, I got one for £60 and it's a surprisingly good phone. It would've been a bargain at twice the price.
