In my opinion this brings a great helm installed into their boat, and binoculars to the sailors, but not the engine. Also, they seem to have a clear view on what they are doing and they are focused on the port. Jolla benefits on their size - Mobile business is developing rapid, and a small company is capable to take the right turns quickly when needed. Currently Nokia provides patents and mobile networks to the market, doing great with less work should I say. I'd say that Nokia offers a firm hull to this boat, but not the engine. If it was a rocket engine, they would have kept it. Is the Nokia background a rocket engine? Nokia ruled the market before Android, but decided to leave the whole mobile device business to other hands. There's a gap in the markets left by Nokia, and Jolla might be the best candidate to fill this gap. Jolla benefits on their Nokia background. I'd prefer to see the rocket option, what do you think?

To answer my own questions above, why wasn't it possible, with the right partners, with the active community, with great talents like Marc, but it might just take a while (30 years?). Saarnio retired before his talks are reality. In overall, Saarnio's words makes one wonder if Jolla has some secret rocket engine in their boat, or is Mr. Blackberry has 12 700 employees (March 2013) while Jolla is still a startup with 125 (August 2014) Also worth a note is that it took 15 years for Blackberry to reach their current market share, and they are still far behind the TOP3. However, every 0,001% in these markets means a lot in mobile business with more than Trillion dollar revenue. 2014: Specially mentioned in privacy oriented BlackphoneĪll the candidates have a very small or unknown market shares.2012: Latest version BlackBerry 10 was introduced.2002: First phone call capable device BlackBerry 5810 smartphone.No information on the employee count, but already Samsung has 270 000 (incl.2014: First phone call capable device, smart watch phone Samsung GearS introduced.2013: First appearance in a smart camera Samsung NX300M.2013: Samsung merged the project, at that time rooting to Samsung Linux Platform and LiMo, with their inhouse Bada project.2011: Linux project, originally based on Meego and Mer (like Sailfish OS), started.Tizen OS (Samsung, Intel, Linux Foundation, Tizen Foundation) Analytics are seeing Firefox OS reaching 1% market share.2014: First phone call capable devices are expected, but not announced yet, from LG Electronics, Huawei, ZTE and TCL.2013: Marketing plan introduced at MWC.2011: "Boot to Gecko" project was started.2014: Latest version 1.0.8, updates have been released monthly.2013: First phone call capable device Jolla (Finnish smartphone).2011: Open Source project started in heritage of Nokia's MeeGo, Mer.

Jolla's Head of Software Marc Dillon has also shared a word on the OS markets - In his opinion Jolla doesn't even compete with the current 3rd: Windows phone. Jolla is, future wise, already gathering interest also in Africa.

Jolla aims to their goal, third major mobile operating system in the world, via the biggest mobile phone markets India (available since September 23, 2014) and China (Already available via a channel partner, but not yet officially launched).

This made me remember Saarnio's words, those bold and brave. Sailfish OS by Jolla has just raised it's nose on this chart, thanks to a launch with a huge retailer in India.Įarlier Google didn't have enough data to add Sailfish OS into this chart at all.
