Approx time when the Sailfish launcher for Android will release? [answered]
1) There is a very large amount of people waiting for your launcher to go live on Play Store. Jolla phone owners should come first with the software updates but given the amount of Android users/owners out there I would have to guess that it (people waiting for your launcher) is a number far larger than the current Jolla phone owners just to put things in perspective.
Could we get an estimated month or 2 month time frame? Something like Apr-May?
2) Also can you give a little bit more info like, "it will scale to most screen sizes" or "it will work with devices running Android 4.1 or newer" or something like that? This way the guys waiting and hoping to see it don't get deflated and disappointed when it comes out if it does not work on their phone.
2a) Will it be its own launcher or will it be a skin on another launcher?
3) Will we have working app covers like on Sailfish that will work with the cover gestures? Maybe cover gestures will only work with the native Android Apps?
4) How will you handle the learning curve, will there be a tutorial video on the app store? A little icon somewhere on the screen to do the tutorial? Are you going to be very clear in some way that this is a "try it before you buy it" demo product and make a video showing how the full OS is way better and if you want this OS on your phone tell your carrier? I mean that is your goal right, to create a large demand with the customers asking, "hey Sailfish OS is available for all of these other phones, I want it for mine too ATT or T-mobile, etc."
5) Are the launcher updates going to follow behind the OS updates by about a month? 2 weeks?
