Advertisements Jolla Sailfish has less to worry about regarding ecosystems as Jolla can utilise Android apps without having to rewrite them (e.g. BB10). But how do you get these apps to the Jolla Phone? There are many ways and currently, some instructions floating around the web by a Jolla user says they’ve found a way to […]
Moments ago at Slush, in the first of two appearances, Jolla disclosed that the Jolla device will be available from Nov 27, via a pop up store with their partner DNA, in Helsinki. No information as of yet about when pre-orders will be filled, but with another talk kicking off in about 35 mins, […]
Starting in just over an hour, Jolla will take the stage not once, but twice – to give talks at Slush 2013. 12 months ago – Jolla took to the same stage to give us the first look at Sailfish and outline their plans for the OS. If you’re interested in the announcement (I know […]

An interesting press release from Jolla shows that their Sailfish OS runs Android apps natively without any modification. In comparison to say, BB10, apparently, at least from […]
Take a look at the hands on for the new Jolla OS Phone fresh today. There’s a quick tour of the hardware and the OS. The colour options look very Nokia atm no? The peeking whilst video is in play reminds me of Swipe UI on the N9 a bit, though this has […]
I still remember my first glimpse of Jussi Mäkinen when he demoed the Nokia N900 for the first time and later the Nokia N9.
