How is Jolla earning money ?

ok, so a very small amount of money? Maybe, to avoid going into the same troubles than before, they need to think about and to set up a strategy ...

Jolla should open the store for paid (native) apps and take small cut from those sales.

Paid apps may bring few income, but at the same time they need operator to establish strict rules, processes, and this is where one need to hire extra staff. Seems to me that Jolla is kind of focusing on engineering rather then spending resources on marketing and business development. That might be fragile approach longterm, but considering the low volume of Jphones sold, they would not get much from a paid apps in the store either. /me thinks

Can't remember where I read it, but on some interview they said 5-6 licensing partners would be enough.

No, they don't get any money from licensing, at least according to what they says in summer 2015.

Gentlemen, make up your mind! :) If they don't get money for licensing, then I don't see the point in developing SailfishOS. After all, that is Jolla's product?

They get money from the ex-Partner Space, or at least that's their plan. Otherwise, Google would have no point in developing Android, since they don't get any money from licensing it.

do you really think they will sell 10 millions devices? I think 1 million should be already a very very good success.

I'm not sure they will take 10 euros. More, 2-3 euros ... (don't forget that Intex is also giving something to Jolla .. Indian market and a visibility in one of the biggest market, so why should they give money to Jolla ?)

Just wanted to point out that small money with modest volumes in a huge market can make a a lot of money that also can open up other markets.

Jolla also gives intex a great os and maybe some apps, eg superapp but could be more.

i really hope they sell 10 million devices x)...

@codeandcreate We all do. :)
