Next Jolla device should have anti-glare polariser and LED/AMOLED display
The next Jolla device (or a facelift of this one) should have anti-glare polariser AMOLED display in order to improve daylight screen visibility / power consumption. It is rather hard to see anything on the Jolla screen in direct sun light since the screen does not seem to be trans-reflective, at least compared to N9.
Also AMOLED would enable nice features like idle on-screen clock as this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Nokia_n9.jpeg
Yeah, but AMOLED sucks for display quality. You can argue LED or keep the LCD as it is.

Also the LED / AMOLED would enable lighting up very small parts of the screen like in the case of the idle-screen clock feature of N9, without draining the battery. As far as I know the LCD has the disadvantage of having to light up the whole backlight of the display in order to get something visible which draws a lot more power than the LED/AMOLED variant thus making that clock feature impractical.

It does suffer from nonlinear dark colour reproduction but on the other hand, that's also where LCD (and presumably LED as well in this size scale) reproduce grey instead of true black. I found myself disappointed to find out that I'm going to have to give up AMOLED as I chose to purchase a Jolla. The always visible clock was very handy.
