So Tethering application from Jolla Store is not enough for you?

Well, I am sure sales are important. But I hope Jolla has a longer term plan, and for sure they are only part of the plan.

...For whatever is worth, the only thing preventing me to use the Jolla as my main phone is the missing wifi sharing option, which apparently is on its way...
Even IIRC this application serves as the core for in OS tethering implementation in upcoming 1.0.4.x release.

There are reasons why he is not CEO anymore and one of those was what he spoke.
He was thinking too much like an engineer that these are programmable devices and anything is possible in theory. Whatever journalists where asking from him was always possible in theory and journalist wrote that as promised fact or feature.

I found it pretty much useless as the route guide is just a text list and series of turn symbols that doesn't update as you walk/drive/cycle plus it takes up half the screen.

can keep Jolla/Sailfish afloat...
I always thought China was the actual market that would bring the revenue they needed for Jolla phone, outside of licensing the OS. It was the first market that got distributor announced. So at least to me it is still very worrying that the deal apparently fell flat.

Anyway, I'm sure all of us are more interested in this...

FFOS is doing even better than Ubuntu in that respect, although it can't really be compared to Sailfish/Tizen/Ubuntu, far less capable etc.
When it comes to hand-helds, Tizen no longer seems to be interested in getting 3rd parties on-board, for now...
But Samsung will make it far more visible to potential hand-held partners with the arrival of it's Gear wearables that use Tizen instead of Android.
Not wanting to talk things down, but assuming there's been competitive progress*, some "light thrown on this subject" by Jolla is overdue.
*I dare not think the worst

For whatever is worth, the only thing preventing me to use the Jolla as my main phone is the missing wifi sharing option, which apparently is on its way. The rest of the application I cannot do without are already there, working mostly fine. Of course, there is space for improvement.
What I am worried is that the most voted features on TJC have not really good return of investment for Jolla, and as a consequence, for users, long term.
