Talking about partnerships..
I think that it would be a great idea if the Jolla team would try to reach some kind of partnership with companies who might have (and actually already showed) some interest to defend themself from the upcoming of all Android Wear smartwatches and Apple Watch. Look no further than Switzerland for it!! Swatch for the large consumer market and TagHeuer for the luxury one might be two very big players in this field. As i see it the Jolla's UI it's already pretty suited for a smartwatch kind of display, with the active windows etc.
What do you guys think about it?
Cheers!

Partnerships for wearables is a good idea. I don't think aiming for the most expensive luxury brands is so good. I don't know how many Jolla owners would own these - it must be a very small proportion of what is already a very small market. I think partnerships should be more realistic.
