What would you change in Sailfish UI on such a large form factor? How would you like it to integrate with your Jolla device? What would you use it for? How would you like it to look :)

Hi, I'm Carsten Munk, Chief Research Engineer at Jolla. Let's try to grow the skunkworks of Jolla and SailfishOS together. Use the tag 'skunkworks' for your ideas and thoughts. Rule #1 of skunkworks: stick to something that is not short term (rest of site is good for that), but is possible 6 months from now or beyond that. I believe that the best research department a mobile OS can have is a worldwide community of passionate contributors and users. Let's prove this theory right.

I'l make it a xbmc like livingroom machine so my guests can play with it and can have the SailfishOS experience.

invent new usage on big screen like E-Ink colors without warm the fingers and eye tired less like e-paper that was never possible before SailfishOS :-)

Available 6x 10 fingers gesture for play/work (usable by 6 simultaneous human input)

I hope better concept play on big screen gesture/eye gesture/virtual keyboard input improvement also optimized for limited human (ease of use) fully usable by single hand or and eye

I would continue with my sad face since Sailfish OS was not created with portrait AND landscape mode from the very beginning, and in the core. :P

I would use several pulling menus depending on the position of the screen. I would create easy gestures to resize the running apps and the icons as well. The gesture to "quit the view"/hide an application should be different, because I cannot go on the borders to quit it.

i would dualboot the device with windows 7 or 8.1 desktop and full linux. mobile operating systems are not that usefull on big devices.

I'd like some kind of physical gesture - for example the ability to turn pages of a recipe book without swiping (using front camera) - so if I was using it in the kitchen Id not have to get sticky fingers on the screen. The windows 8.1 tablets have software currently that do this, but its limited to a particular app - not over the OS.

Windowed apps could just behave like on Jolla, pull in from outside the app triggers edge gestures.

I will just refer to the big screen as Table Connecting the Table with the Jolla could have several features,

RPGs with the Table as host for all and the Jollas around get info from the master invisible to the others
- Jolla as second screen for any other boardgame
Jolla as omnidirectional controller, GPS-mouse, scanner, kbd or any other HID
Table as second screen
