Extremely unlikely IMO but could Jolla be partnering with Amazon/OpenACL on this?

Would be a huge boost to their chances if it were true but I find it hard to see it happening.

Multi-tasking the way the n900, n9 and Symbian does is something I really use.
My use case:
1 - Open Browser;
2 - Open A page, while A page loads (because of slow internet), open B page;
3 - Open E-mail, while it downloads, go back to A page;
4 - Read A page, decide I want to listen to music;
5 - Open music player and put some music;
6 - Open emails, read some, returns to A page;
7 - Finish reading A page, opens C page and while it loads go to B page;
8 - Goes back to email, opens random attachment;
9 - Reads said attachment, goes to back to email;
10 - Closes email, goes to page B;
11 - Decide I want to take a walk, so Sports Tracker better be open, or open it now;
12 - On page B, finds random video on Youtube, open it;
13 - While said video loads, go to page C;
14 - goes on and on...

Wouldn't it be satisfying and ironic if the new company's MeeGo team does well enough to buy Nokia?

That statement is wrong. PalmOS closed applications completely, then reopened them. Much as iOS 1.0 did (although even there the kernel supported multitasking and some of Apple's own apps did it). There was zero multitasking in at least the PalmOS versions people would be most familiar with.
There are upsides and downsides to both approaches (full multitasking, vs controlled iOS style). The upsides to iOS are really the much better control of battery and memory usage. A real compromise for a full pocket computer could be to have iOS limitations when on battery power, and full multitasking when on the grid. I don't really fancy calculating fractals in the background when on the move, sucking my battery...

It would be, but why would they want to? What assets does Nokia still possess that are desirable if you are not a patent troll?

To me this starts looking fishy. Open source project should not be shrouded in secrecy like everything about Jolla. Just saying.
What about ecosystem? Apps, services? A fully open system using the web for most of the services I understand, but from what I gather of information, they are headed elsewhere.
Way too much confusion talk by Jolla to be taken seriously at this time.
