Because its the only mobile OS that a) really works and b) lets you do what you want and not what it wants you to do. I must say that I don't know the latest Blackberry OS but it looks like it isn't going to last much.

The UI-Concept is clean, simple and an joy to use.
On the other side, the UI of Android is already a complete mess:

• Menu-List (Hamburger)
• Menu-Dots
• Hardware-Option-Button
• Long-Press
• Side-Flick or Side-Swing...WTF?
• Every manufacturer with his own "UI" on top of this

Okay. So Jolla does something right, which someone other fucked up already. And on top of this, Jolla allows for really multitasking, the apps are actuall still running, already visible and even usable. While on iOS and Android you don't see them directly and interacting with them is a mess.

1. Sailfish OS gives me control over what is running on my phone. For me this is very important because of battery life. In general, I want to have clean computer systems, running no services I do not need or want.
2. Android emulation is valuable and works well. There are a few Android apps I could not live without. One is the Cram.com client.
3. It is fast. Ubuntu phone is not there yet, and probably will not be for a year or two.

What would we say in front of a big-packet guy?

Is that 10 millions in your pocket or you are happy to see me.

Joking apart i'd say: We have an almost ready for prime time mobile OS, uncluttered, lean and efficient. We have a team of capable engineers. We can give to any MFG the ability to offer -by controlling SW, updates & HW integration- an Apple like experience for less than what apple charges. With the tablet reaching the US and parts of the World that the phone wasn't available we will be able to demonstrate the advantages of SFOS to more people and create an audience for future products.

its the only non-us os

its an alternative to the big 2,5: android, apple, ms

it is already mature, working realy well

linux based with android support

huge parts open source ..

but i think these are obvious things

the question is how do you want to generate money out of it?

Sailfish, the OS, masters to provide:

• an easy-to-use UI,
• true multitasking (of course, memory limited)
• the potential for good one-handed use (that is compromised by the hardware of the present phone)
• the possibility to use Android apps
• access to the entire file system
• fast response even on not-so-good hardware (like Jolla 1)

In fact, whenever I have to use my brother's IPhone, my wife's Android phone or even my own Blackberry I wonder why these phones are so complicated to use.

The problem with Sailfisch might be that poeple are just not used to true multitasking on a phone so that this feature is neither appreciated nor missed.

There is need for a unique, unlike investor, a manufacturer that makes good looking unique phones for people, and addition to that a different OS that is at least as good as the others. Mind that, people buy things, not OS. People want nice things in their hand.

Sailfish need devices, thats it. Android can be any good really, people will always buy the next fancy phone that runs it even if the last one was already good. Because they like new things. It is not about the OS.
