I think we have to clarify some rumors regulary to get rid of stupid rumors on the net:
1. Jolla is not Nokia company
2. Jukka Eklund is not working at Jolla(But he should have all damn crediting for he started the twitter success for jollamobile
3. There will NOT be two devices. ONE is in the pipeline so far. (See interview below)
4. There is not any Nokia patent moved to Jolla LTD
5. Nokia does not pay this company more than everyone else. However Nokia give some upstart money to people theyr fired if they starts new companys.
6. There is NO sign that Jolla is Nokias "planB"

Acer or Asus, i think it might be realistic that its (at least?) one of them. I think Asus doesnt has a phone out yet, but are quite strong in the android tablet market (transformer). Still possible that they enter the smartphone segment with something else than android, since samsung is going too strong there and its very hard to compete. Acer only threw out some low end and midrange Androids. So Jolla could also be a chance for them.
Asus has spinned off its ODM manufacturing and it is now independent company known as Pegatron Corporation which is rumored to design and manufacture Microsoft's Surface tablets.

But since people are willing to take any silly theory, here's a snippet from Intomobiles interview with CEO of Jolla:
"Stefan: There’s been a lot of confusion regarding patents from Nokia. Have they given you any? Are they licensing you any? What’s the situation there?
Jussi (=CEO of Jolla): Nokia actually answered these questions yesterday because TechCrunch was speculating that Nokia “gifted” us some IPR. I can say that Nokia doesn’t “gift” IPR.

Btw. iOS's multitasking is way more than mere taskswitching. I think they made the right compromise there, making it easier to control how apps use resources. You don't tend to get those runaway situations that you get on the N9 where battery just wooshes out of existence.
Background softwares in iOS are limited to run a maximum of 10 minutes, except if they are in 5 or 6 categories (music, gps, etc) and approved by Apple.
So no way to have fractal drawing, mathematical calculation, 3D rendering, etc, software running in background for more than 10 minutes in iOS. For me, iOS it is a dumbed down OS in its roots.

Nokia, therefore, issues the legally binding Patent Statement, which has been posted on its website at www.nokia.com/iprstatements.
...
Edit: Google filed a complaint with EU over Nokia's patent trolling, and included a link to an archived copy of the doc.
Edit 2: Reading the actual statement Patents are defined as:
"Patent"
means any such claims, including without limitation, method and product claims, of any and all patents and patent applications with a priority date of 31 December 2005 or earlier, now owned or hereafter acquired by Nokia, which are infringed by any Linux Kernel that exists as of 25 May 2005 or by any functionality embodied in any future Linux Kernel to the extent that Nokia has not declared as described hereinabove such functionality to be outside the scope of this Patent Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, Patent shall not include any claims for enabling technologies that are not themselves embodied in the Linux Kernel (e.g., without limitation, hardware or semiconductor manufacturing technology as such).

I would prefer Asus as i've read many things about their hardware and built quality.
Asus would be quite acceptable indeed. The Transformer Prime has nice build quality.
Still, call me chauvinistic, but I'd like to see a European built device. Even in that regard the N9 seems to be the last of its kind, since Elop axed the Finnish factories

All times are GMT. The time now is 23:57.
Also Huawei is about the take off in the european market (at least they intend to i think) and besides Android they will also use WP8 so why not Jolla? It seems they are following a similiar strategy to Samsung.

HTC has also build very nice hardware with the One Series (especially the One X, looks verrrrrry nice!) but i don't expect them to work with Jolla.
