Wall Street Journal: Jolla Sets Sights On Big Two
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) interviewed Jolla a few days ago with a video entitled “Finland’s Jolla Phone Aims to Compete With Apple, Samsung”.
Jolla Chairman, Antii Saarnio is the interviewee and responds to questions from WSJ’s Yun-Hee Kim in this Digits exclusive interview.
WSJ: Jolla Compete With Apple, Samsung
The link to the video interview can be found here: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2013/06/05/finlands-jolla-phone-aims-to-compete-with-apple-samsung/
The interview touches on the fact that ‘the other half’ cases can easily change the security levels of the phone eg. adding one case could make the phone a highly secure work phone and then when you get home you could replace that one with your ‘home’ case and the software would respond accordingly.
The video unravels a few more mysteries of Jolla’s proposed plan and is definitely worth a watch.
On a side note, I couldn’t help but notice that Apples new Iphone iteration due for an Autumn release (IOS 7 announced yesterday) features something very similar to Jolla’s ‘ambience’ function – coincidence, I think not. In IOS7, it appears that by changing the wallpaper on the homescreen, you also change the look and feel of the phone which seems (like the ambience feature in Sailfish) to reflect the colours in your wallpaper image. A lot of the other features in IOS7 seem to have been heavily influenced by MeeGO, Web OS and many other operating systems. There go Apple again taking from others and calling it their own!
So let’s support the real innovators and help get Jolla up there with the big boys!
Sail On…
You’re absolutely right!
What we can say when we already know what Apple does a long time… Keep working hard, Jolla – because Sailfish worth every penny.
why do not all companies go against apple for stealing all the os features in their ios7.
apple did against Samsung for hardware why not for software have same rule and why all theae companies stay calm.Like as i ll invent new os with all the creamy features of all os and put them together.
As I stated here before – when Jolla released their phone with accompanying video’s, the OTHERS are watching carefully and will adapt their version, feel or features of Sailfish. Now Pilgrams, you can understand why Jolla is secretive about releasing too much information. Have faith. Sail on.
With this new childish style and copycat IOS 7, Apple has just shot himself in the foot. With the awesome Sailfish OS, his open apps store, and “Other half”, Jolla get the assets to become the new reference smartphone (the new Iphone).
apple does have some world greatest graphic designers. Like their icons design, but new jolla icons are great as well!
Jolla need to improve that crossfade effect when exiting an app, make its effect more slower. And
Did the video really say “gigabite” as in large bite? I am disappoint WSJ!
I think Jolal should also invest on a 7″ tablet. That’s the natural size for a screen, since it’s the size of a Penguin Pocket book. Actually, it’s the only size of tablet that I see people using in Paris metro.
This feature may also come from itunes 11 which adjusts album’s background and text colors according to album cover photo..
