I really liked some things they had there. Especially the design and execution of the "status bar" looked really nice. Definetly something I will be looking for closely

They (Ubuntu) use Qt 5, not GTK. So I think lot's of developer base can be shared. Packaging is a minor issue.

By the way, how exactly they do this: ?

Much faster than sailfish and tizen. Ubuntu rules... Lets see how it's working for end users.

What exactly is faster? Jolla ships their device in Q1 2013. Canonical didn't even specify a date yet.

Faster to our devices. I think it will be available the coming weeks. Faster is better. :D still Jolla's has still a chance to be faster, but we will see...
