Today I got a pretty clear impression that the astrologers declared a week Finnish tablets, significantly increasing their growth. Yesterday my first Android-tablet called N1 showed Nokia, but today we saw the tablet from the company Jolla, which is just a couple of hours the desired amount collected on platform Indiegogo.

Offered tablet Jolla running proprietary operating system called Sailfish 2.0. The main characteristics of the same amount to 7.85″ display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536, 64-bit processor by Intel (probably the same as in the Nokia N1), 32 GB of memory, expandable, 5 megapixel cameras on the very small battery on 4.3 Ah.

The rest of the users are asked not only to sponsor the project, but also to help in its development. Jolla says that appreciates the views of their precious users and therefore will listen to the most popular offerings by adding them to a new product. With regard to finances, the first 1000 Bakers had the opportunity to pre-order the tablet for $ 189, and the next one thousand – $ 199. And it is transformed into the original goal of $ 380,000, which was recruited surprisingly quickly. Pre-order now available for $ 204 and is designed to offer 2,000 people. Estimated same price at the start of massive sales – $ 249.

One of the main pieces of the promised tablet – multitasking. The developers promise to provide the best possible experiments, showing all running applications on a single screen. So far it is not clear in what will be a revolution, but it will be interesting to look at the result.

By the way, I’m not sure that a successful campaign, which exceeded the goal of $ 380,000, at the time of this writing, typing $ 605,000, is an indicator of success. In the end, it comes a little more than 2,000 copies. And who knows how many of these will depart two thousand employees of the company or the Government of Finland Jolla, recently spoke about the fact that Apple is threatening their economies, killing Nokia. But in 2000 the tablet is not so much even for such a small country like Finland, which seeks to support domestic producers.

Tablet from Jolla at Sailfish 2.0

Looking at the two Finnish tablets, chronologically separated by only a day, we can see two radically different ways of development of the two companies, dating back to a single source. After Jolla is based come from Nokia.

In the case of Nokia N1 company has the most popular operating systems, the design of the most popular tablet, soldered it together and gave it to a Chinese manufacturer Foxconn, so they collected them, and sold at a low price.

Jolla also decided to develop its own operating system, establish production by Crowdfunding, and it is not clear exactly how the final product will be distributed.

Frankly, although I like Jolla, impressed with the way they choose features for their product and all that, I little hard to believe in the success of any campaign. As I once wrote that the dark horse in the world of mobile operating systems to break in any way significant position, it needs to have a very large financial reserve, or to do something really new and revolutionary that will change the user experience and make people want to buy their product. And Jolla has not yet seen neither the first nor the second.

So far, despite achieving goals products Jolla will remain exclusively for geeks, and possibly for the Finns, who want to support their own. The first deliveries are expected in May 2015.

As previously reported , the mobile operating system Sailfish allow you to run applications for Android, which will facilitate its spread in the market and make it more interesting solution for vendors. Now CEO Tom Pienimaki Jolla (Tomi Pienimaki) said that Sailfish compatible with Android-devices.

From this it follows that interested users can run OS Sailfish on their Android-powered devices. And such an opportunity will soon enough. According to Tom Pienimaki, China is seen as a major market expansion, because the local population is actively updating the OS on their devices. However, he stressed that the company intends to offer Jolla as the operating system itself, and hardware solutions.

According to the head of the company, Jolla is not going to earn by selling OS Sailfish. Instead, plan to occupy a niche market, and then generate income by using applications, services and advertising.

The company Jolla, which is actively preparing for the start of sales of the smartphone platform Sailfish , previously expressed support for Android-applications. However, instead of the traditional official Google Play Store developers have decided to give preference to an alternative solution – Yandex.Store.

Currently available in store Yandex.Store more than 85 thousand applications in 17 categories. Users are offered protection against viruses, search function, and automatic updating of applications. It is also possible to pay by credit card purchase programs, from mobile phone account or using a payment system “Yandex”. Initially, the company “Yandex” considered as store distribution channel popular in Russia’s own search service, maps, navigation, and cloud-based solutions. But there are also available and popular third-party applications, such as, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WeChat and others.

So the idea of ​​creating the company Jolla, which will promote the new mobile platform. To finance its activities were involved partners from Hong Kong and China.

In Jolla MeeGo used as the basis for the operating system Sailfish. At the same time engaged in a startup is not only the development of the program, but also the creation of end mobile devices. As a result, recently launched the first smartphone based on the Sailfish , and its sales to begin in late 2013.

Remaining time Jolla actively used to create the necessary infrastructure. The company is considering for a number of key markets. The most important of these are Europe and China (U.S. companies are also interested, but to begin work now on it is problematic). To promote the devices in China has already signed agreements with trade network D.Phone.

It also reported the opening of a development center Sailfish in Hong Kong. It is planned that the center will allow participants an alliance to work together on improving and promoting the operating system. Another research center is scheduled to open in China.

The success of the mobile platform is largely dependent on the availability of a sufficient number of applications. And the new platform in this parameter has long been inferior to existing solutions.

In Jolla shortage of applications decided to eliminate the possibility of starting with the introduction of existing applications for Android.

However, the owners of smartphones Jolla will not be able to download applications from the store Google Play, for these purposes will be used hand (yet unnamed) solution.

However, developers are actively working to create applications that initially focused on Sailfish. Moreover, the company promises to create a certain number of specific applications for local markets (the list of applications is not reported). Their release will take place simultaneously with the start of sales of smartphones.

Despite the fact that the official release of the smartphone OS Sailfish already taken place, work on it still continues.

By the start of sales expected to make some improvements to the camera module and the thickness of the apparatus can be reduced by 10%.
