Revision history [back]

Jolla should market and design its products to be used by non-technical users not just Linux hackers and simple comprehensive documentation should encourage this. I see a major market in the type of users who historically always bought Blackberry devices - both business and private. I see the devices could be usefully marketed towards the media/news industry and also certain tech oriented celebrities/performers. There are many potential users that would love a privacy/security oriented device that is not owned by google/apple etc. Design of products should concentrate on simplicity of use for core functions with plenty of user help/documentation. Also Jolla should resist the temptation to continually tweak and change working features which is common in the Open Source community. Change for its own sake only alienates product users - look at Windows Vista and 8. This should not discourage Open Source hackers who should be able to concentrate on additonal features rather than reinventing the wheel everytime.
