Google invests into KaiOS - what future for Sailfish in featurephone segment?

Short answer/comment: not relevant to this community and should closed as such.

@Edz: you mean speculating about the biggest competitor of Jolla (Google) is investing into the biggest competitor feature phones OS (KaiOS) of Sailfish is not relevant in this forum?

Sorry to say but what the heck!?

Especially after seeing feature phone oriented SailfishOS demoed on device that exactly looks like a 3310 of HMD?

Parnering with HMD in feature phone segment could easily be bread&butter for Jolla - thus securing future of SailfishOS as such.

But after seeing this news it is in instant danger...

whatever your thoughts, you finished your question with, "what do you think?", I wrote what I thought. For now, my comment stands, whether you want to be all 'fan-boy' about it or not is up to you and each to his or her own. Your question is not relevant, it does not offer anything that solves any problems, neither does it present a problem that requires solving, it is a question with no realistic outcome and as a result is argumentative(?), subjective and yes, also not relevant in the scheme of things. Jolla have demoed a few things over time and we still haven't seen them, so to use prototypes or artists renderings of something not yet in existence does not reinforce your non-question. This forum is not meant for prolonged/idle discussion, refer to the general guidelines; https://together.jolla.com/faq/ - clipping from the FAQ;

What kinds of questions should be avoided?
Please avoid asking questions that are not relevant to this community, too subjective and argumentative.

What should I avoid in my answers?
together.jolla.com is a question and answer site - it is not a discussion group. Please avoid holding 
debates in your answers as they tend to dilute the essense of questions and answers. For the brief 
discussions please use commenting facility

A friendly suggestion, whether you see it this way or not, would be to start a thread on talk.maemo.org or not. I'm only saying what I think and feel, basically engaging you against what I've stated about, about this not being the place for general discussions on seemingly non-relevant questions.

Let the flood gates of despair open!!

p.s. I'm also quite happy to eat humble pie should many others find me guilty of saying what I think, rightly or wrongly.

@Edz: from this aspect, I have to admi it is not relevant... ;)

on the other hand it is really sad there is no any real, specific forum for discussing about such topics. especially one where we can see Jolla people involved...

I appreciate your candour.

Arguably, ultimate business decisions at the core, is simply not our concern, but of course there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking.

I agree regarding how sad it seems, but we have rarely ever had any input from heads at jolla, only comments/corrections/answers from admin or moderators....I'm pretty certain that Tomi Pienimäki, Antti Saarnio, Jussi Hurmola, Sami Pienimaki have ever made an appearance here on TJC and why would they.

I'm interested to see what other comments get left here regarding your original question and my response, if any.
