Jolla should target Business use

One of the main drawbacks of the otherwise great N9 (still unmatched in many aspects compared to Jolla TOH, but i'm sure this will should change for better) was its lack of support for business use. While I acknowledge, that it may not be the primary target at this moment, let's discuss the main requirements needed for use in a business environment (many of those are already subjects in other questions here):

A) Sailfish OS

  1. WPA2 Enterprise: works already through command line configuration. Needs a menu in settings for setup.
  2. VPN: support for different protocols like OpenVPN (already supported unofficially), IPSec (IKEv2), Cisco SSL.
  3. Using Shares: support SMB and NFS protocols, mount support through File Browser or 3rd party App
  4. Storage in general: general App integration of cloud storage, shares and external sd-card
  5. Lockscreen: very important to have a lockscreen with configurable informations (like N9 with a 3rd App): time, date, calendar meetings, weather and others
  6. Privacy: rethink and implement optionally more security and privacy settings, for the OS and also per App
  7. Overall experience: auto screen rotation, refining some swipes/gestures
  8. Multimedia: standard support for more codecs
  9. Keyboard: individual keyboard configuration
  10. Fonts: improve, change font size easily

B) Standard Jolla Apps

  1. E-Mail Client: improve E-Mail Client (see other posts)
  2. Calendar: improve (see other posts, regarding handling, connections, display and views (weekly view!) and so on)
  3. Contacts: improve
  4. Clock and Alarm: improve
  5. "Here" Maps and Navigation: improve, add offline maps. Or maybe a 3rd party App for Openmaps.
  6. Security: Anti-Malware software (ClamAV?), Firewall settings (only with activated developer mode), Certificate Management
  7. File Browser: more functionality or better 3rd party App
  8. Office: improve view and handling of MS-Office, Openoffice and PDF documents (no editing needed here, but copy paste)
  9. Phone and Messages: improve (call and log management ...)

C) Native 3rd party Apps (Android Apps should be only a last resort)

  1. System utilities: WiFi analyzer, Network discovery,
  2. Office: PDF editor (marking, correcting, drawing), business calc, ...
  3. Kindle: any possibility to get a native Kindle App? But at least other eBook readers
  4. Security: Password managers, Crypto containers
  5. Graphical Notebook: sketch/write quickly some notes with your finger (someone tried a pen already?)
  6. Social Media: native Linkedin and Xing Apps. Always implement a clean logout functionality for all Social media Apps!
  7. Storage and Sharing: better File Browser, support for other cloud storage, including ownCloud
  8. Multimedia: improve Mediaplayer (see other posts), support hardware button when locked for start/stop/skip
  9. Audio: audio note taker/recorder
  10. TV: some TV/News Channels App would be nice
  11. Stocks: some stocks App maybe, to follow Jollas success...? :-)
  12. Internet Browsers: Firefox, Opera...
  13. Multipurpose Database: some kind of database or spreadsheet with GUI and editing
  14. Skype and similars
  15. Scanning: photo scan and OCR (for vCards and other uses)
  16. Remote connections: VNC, RDP, maybe VMWare/Citrix (well, not really useful with this size)
  17. ... and for the stressed manager... some standard games like patiences, Angry Birds and others :-)

Well, I finish here, or it will get longer. Of course, this list is very subjective, some things may be already solved or are on the roadmap, and the list is not in any priority sort order. Up to you to comment, criticize, extend, ... Keeping in mind that the focus should be helping Jolla TOH (or its successor) to find its way into business and non-devels power users too.

One issue to think about is, that, while I personally prefer and support free and open source software, high quality 3rd party business-near Apps will usually not come for free. So, it will be crucial to implement some sort of commercial section inside the Jolla shop.

  7. File Browser: more functionality or better 3rd party App
  8. Office: improve view and handling of MS-Office, Openoffice and PDF documents (no editing needed here, but copy paste)
  9. Phone and Messages: improve (call and log management ...)

C) Native 3rd party Apps (Android Apps should be only a last resort)

  1. System utilities: WiFi analyzer, Network discovery,
  2. Office: PDF editor (marking, correcting, drawing), business calc, ...
  3. Kindle: any possibility to get a native Kindle App? But at least other eBook readers
  4. Security: Password managers, Crypto containers
  5. Graphical Notebook: sketch/write quickly some notes with your finger (someone tried a pen already?)
  6. Social Media: native Linkedin and Xing Apps. Always implement a clean logout functionality for all Social media Apps!
  7. Storage and Sharing: better File Browser, support for other cloud storage, including ownCloud
  8. Multimedia: improve Mediaplayer (see other posts), support hardware button when locked for start/stop/skip
  9. Audio: audio note taker/recorder
  10. TV: some TV/News Channels App would be nice
  11. Stocks: some stocks App maybe, to follow Jollas success...? :-)
  12. Internet Browsers: Firefox, Opera...
  13. Multipurpose Database: some kind of database or spreadsheet with GUI and editing
  14. Skype and similars
  15. Scanning: photo scan and OCR (for vCards and other uses)
  16. Remote connections: VNC, RDP, maybe VMWare/Citrix (well, not really useful with this size)
  17. ... and for the stressed manager... some standard games like patiences, Angry Birds and others :-)

Well, I finish here, or it will get longer. Of course, this list is very subjective, some things may be already solved or are on the roadmap, and the list is not in any priority sort order. Up to you to comment, criticize, extend, ... Keeping in mind that the focus should be helping Jolla TOH (or its successor) to find its way into business and non-devels power users too.

One issue to think about is, that, while I personally prefer and support free and open source software, high quality 3rd party business-near Apps will usually not come for free. So, it will be crucial to implement some sort of commercial section inside the Jolla shop.

Jolla should target Business Use

One of the main drawbacks of the otherwise great N9 (still unmatched in many aspects compared to Jolla TOH, but i'm sure this will change soon for better) was its lack of support for business use. While I acknowledge, that it may not be the primary target at this moment, let's discuss the main requirements needed for use in a business environment (many of those are already subjects in other questions here):

A) Sailfish OS

  1. WPA2 Enterprise: works already through command line configuration. Needs a menu in settings for setup.
  2. VPN: support for different protocols like OpenVPN (already supported unofficially), IPSec (IKEv2), Cisco SSL.
  3. Using Shares: support SMB CIFS (smbclient) and NFS protocols, mount support through File Browser or 3rd party App
  4. Storage in general: general App integration of cloud storage, shares and external sd-card
  5. Lockscreen: very important to have a lockscreen with configurable informations (like N9 with a 3rd App): time, date, calendar meetings, weather and others
  6. Privacy: rethink and implement more optional security and privacy settings, for the OS and also per App
  7. Overall experience: auto screen rotation, refining some swipes/gestures, Folders (!)
  8. Multimedia: standard support for more codecs
  9. Keyboard: individual keyboard configuration
  10. Fonts: improve, change font size easily
  11. Copy/Cut/paste Functionality through the whole OS and Apps
  12. Display out: no idea how though...

B) Standard Jolla Apps

  1. E-Mail Client: improve E-Mail Client (see other posts)
  2. Calendar: improve (see other posts, regarding handling, connections, display and views (weekly view!) and so on)
  3. Contacts: improve
  4. Clock and Alarm: improve
  5. "Here" Maps and Navigation: improve, add offline maps. Or maybe a 3rd party App for Openmaps.
  6. Security: Anti-Malware software (ClamAV?), Firewall settings (only with activated developer mode), Certificate Management
  7. File Browser: more functionality or better 3rd party App
  8. Office: improve view and handling of MS-Office, Openoffice and PDF documents (no editing needed here, but copy paste)
  9. Phone and Messages: improve (call and log management ...)

C) Native 3rd party Apps (Android Apps should be only a last resort)

  6. Security: Anti-Malware software (ClamAV?), Firewall settings (only with activated developer mode), Certificate Management
  7. File Browser: more functionality or better 3rd party App
  8. Office: improve view and handling of MS-Office, Openoffice and PDF documents (no editing needed here, but copy paste)
  9. Phone and Messages: improve (call and log management, MMS ...)

C) Native 3rd party Apps (Android Apps should be only a last resort)

  1. System utilities: WiFi analyzer, Network discovery,
  2. Office: PDF editor (marking, correcting, drawing), business calc, ...
  3. Kindle: any possibility to get a native Kindle App? But at least other eBook readers
  4. Security: Password managers (already in the store), Crypto containers
  5. Graphical Notebook: Notebook (similar to Xournal): sketch/write quickly some notes with your finger (someone tried a pen already?)
  6. Social Media: native Linkedin and Xing Apps. Always implement a clean logout functionality for all Social media Apps!
  7. Storage and Sharing: better File Browser, support for other cloud storage, including ownCloud
  8. Multimedia: improve Mediaplayer (see other posts), support hardware button when locked for start/stop/skip
  9. Audio: audio note taker/recorder
  10. TV: some TV/News Channels App would be nice
  11. Stocks: some stocks App maybe, to follow Jollas success...? :-)
  12. Internet Browsers: Firefox, Opera...
  13. Multipurpose Database: some kind of database or spreadsheet with GUI and editing
  14. Skype and VoIP-SIP Apps
  15. Scanning: photo scan and OCR (for vCards and other uses)
  16. Remote connections: VNC, RDP, maybe VMWare/Citrix (well, not really useful with this size)
  17. ... and for the stressed manager... some standard games like patiences, Angry Birds and others :-)

Well, I finish here, or it will get longer. Of course, this list is very subjective, some things may be already solved or are on the roadmap, and the list is not in any priority sort order. Up to you to comment, criticize, extend, ... Keeping in mind that the focus should be helping Jolla TOH (or its successor) to find its way into business and non-devels power users too.

One issue to think about is, that, while I personally prefer and support free and open source software, high quality 3rd party business-near Apps will usually not come for free. So, it will be crucial to implement some sort of commercial section inside the Jolla shop.

Jolla should target Business Use [requirements added]

One of the main drawbacks of the otherwise great N9 (still unmatched in many aspects compared to Jolla TOH, but i'm sure this will change soon for better) was its lack of support for business use. While I acknowledge, that it may not be the primary target at this moment, let's discuss the main requirements needed for use in a business environment (many of those are already subjects in other questions here):

A) Sailfish OS

  1. WPA2 Enterprise: works already through command line configuration. Needs a menu in settings for setup.
  2. VPN: support for different protocols like OpenVPN (already supported unofficially), IPSec (IKEv2), Cisco SSL.
  3. Using Shares: support CIFS (smbclient) and NFS protocols, mount support through File Browser or 3rd party App
  4. Storage in general: general App integration of cloud storage, shares and external sd-card
  5. Lockscreen at a glance: very important to have a lockscreen with configurable informations (like N9 with a 3rd App): time, date, calendar meetings, weather and others
  6. Privacy: rethink and implement more optional security and privacy settings, for the OS and also per App. Display the access to fuctions and data of Apps and enforce to accept them before installation.
  7. Overall experience: auto screen rotation, refining some swipes/gestures, Folders (!)
  8. Multimedia: standard support for more codecs
  9. Keyboard: individual keyboard configuration
  10. Fonts: improve, change font size easily
  11. Copy/Cut/paste Functionality through the whole OS and Apps
  12. Display out: no idea how though...see other threads
  13. Support SIP protocol
  14. Security: optional device encryption from startup
  15. Support for 4G/LTE

B) Standard Jolla Apps

  1. E-Mail Client: improve E-Mail Client (see other posts)
  2. Calendar: improve (see other posts, regarding handling, connections, display and views (weekly view!) and so on)
  3. Contacts: improve
  4. Clock and Alarm: improveimprove. Include sleep functionality for closing apps.
  5. "Here" Maps and Navigation: improve, add offline maps. Or maybe a 3rd party App for Openmaps.
  6. Security: Anti-Malware software (ClamAV?), Firewall settings (only with activated developer mode), Certificate Management

  17. Automatic profile switcher
  18. ... and for the stressed manager... some standard games like patiences, Angry Birds and others :-)
