Thread: I love the idea of Jolla and all that - but is BBOS10 a valid home for N9 refugees when the last handset dies?

As for the gestures and swiping - that's clearly a N9 and WebOS rip-off.

Wouldn't it be so funny if BB manage to pull themselves out of this hole with a VERY similar OS to the N9 - and Nokia's WP8 just becomes the crappy 4th OS no-one cares about.

I for one think BB WILL, rumours seem to suggest it will come with a quad core CPU. The handset DOES look nice and BB are putting everything into BB10. Looking forward to it to be honest - gonna port my app to it.
rumours certainly suggest a snapdragon S4 SoC, which could be dual or quad, but what matters to me is that whichever it chooses it is an S4 Pro with an Adreno 320 GPU.

Doing so would mean that BBOS10 could spend its whole life with OpenGL ES 3.0 compliant hardware. Would make developer adoption of new technologies a lot quicker, and would give it a headstart on on rival platforms that will need to accommodate for generations of OpenGL ES 2.0 hardware.
