SailfishOS 3.0 announcement discussion

I received a newsletter from Jolla this morning, containing a few interesting things:
What do you think? In the SailfishOS 3.0 video they seem to have focused a lot on their regional licensing strategy, which doesn't really affect the product for people like us directly but may mean we see Sailfish on some new devices. However, there were a few teasers for improved features like:
Feature phones don't interest me much (if it's a feature phone, why does it matter which OS it runs?). Does anyone find this interesting? And then there's the Gemini PDA, which is definitely a cool bit of kit and seems to be shipping now. Is anyone planning on getting one? |
Re: SailfishOS 3.0 announcement discussion
I'd love to get a Gemini! And it'd be awesome to have SFOS on the Gemini.
But I recently got a xperia, so i am reluctant. What is the support of SFOS for the gemini? Does it cover 4g? Does it work well? We don't know yet. And the (only?) alternative to it is android, which I do not want to use. So I decided to wait. |

About the feature phones I think that what it make so amazing, is that is able to run some apps that are exclusive for Android and iOS as Whatsapp for example. It used to work on Nokia feature phones, but since stopped the support for those devices, there were not alternatives until now, thanks for Sailfish OS.

I myself welcome the option of a 4G feature phone. A small device with a numeric keypad that fits nicely in a pocket, for calls and texts only. If it can be used as a WiFi hotspot, then I will snatch it immediately. |

Is running WhatsApp on top of aliendalvik on top of SFOS on a feature phone, really lighter on resources than just putting Android on the phone? Doesn't Android have configurations for low power handsets and feature phones?

Besides not all people need a Linux device in their pocket, rather a reliable phone to make calls and text (with insane battery life?). Having a decent email client, calendar, VOLTE and some common android instant messengers which would otherwise need a "Smartphone" is certainly a plus. |
