Sailfish OS

Citat:
So, Look at the revised version of the Jolla.. and to sum up all the news, fun and run here are a summary of all at once:

1) The ‪#‎Bezel‬ has indeed noticeable to all... more edge to edge design which fits the ‪#‎beautiful‬ ‪#‎screen‬.

2) "Camera" you say?? Yes you are right, the rear camera is now centred along with the flash... woop woop.. giving a clear balanced imaging experience

3) The front camera has been repositioned slightly left to neatly position the earpiece. If you look closely the sensor and the front camera are is the same distance from the earpiece.. looks more geometrically consistent.

4) The power button is now on top right and the volume rocker below it, seamlessly integrated to the more compact body.

5) The ‪#‎other‬ ‪#‎half‬ (back cover) is now looks a real part of the front half with less distinct edges for better grip and reduces the thickness (I guess?).

6) You see the main microphone exactly on the centre of the body below the screen and the noise cancelling microphone has been moved from back cover to top - between the USB port and the embedded shining Jolla logo.

7) According to source ZDNet - "a spokesperson for the start up (Jolla) said that the typical size of a production batch for a mobile device vendor is 50,000 units.".. which gives us an assumption of number of units sold

8)After Jolla "received pre-orders from 136 countries" both consumers and "selected sales channels" have bought out the first batch, which it still expects to deliver by the end of the year.

9) Last but not the least, here is what Jolla CEO Tomi Pienimäki confirmed to ZDNet:

Sailfish OS runs on common Android hardware

Jolla has made a major breakthrough in Android hardware compatibility by developing Sailfish OS to run on common hardware produced for Android, particularly smartphones and tablets. Vendors interested to utilize Sailfish OS are now able to develop phones and tablets based on many different chipset and hardware configurations. This new level of compatibility will enable device vendors who use Sailfish OS to fully utilize the existing Android hardware ecosystem.

Jolla believes that this breakthrough offers growth opportunities of significant scale for Sailfish OS globally, especially in China. “We believe Sailfish with Android compatibility is a highly relevant mobile operating system option for major mobile companies in Europe and in Asia. We are already in discussions with several major Asian vendors regarding this opportunity,” says Tomi Pienimäki.
