Today the world has seen a new chapter in the MeeGo Saga. The Word JollaMobile has filled Twitter streams everywhere (well to MeeGo people at least).
Jolla Ltd. is a Finish company that has continued the work that Nokia had started with MeeGo and has been developing a new smartphone product including the OS since the end of 2011.
So what is JollaMobile:
This OS has evolved from MeeGo OS using Mer Core and Qt with Jolla technology including its own brand new UI.
The ultimate goal of this project is to design, develop and sell new MeeGo based smartphones to be revealed later this year.

Go Jolla go!
Yes!! I still hope it’s a Finnish company, not a “Finish company” as in the article…
Go Jolla go! Be a good company and don’t screw any carriers! Support the carriers and the carriers will support you!
Meego is the natural evolutionary successor to Windows and iOS.
It cannot be stopped.
Meego is the future, and now with Jolla, there is light for the future.
Light up the darkness!!!
I really hope that they’ll release a smartphone with full slight out keyboard!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Nokia was the biggest investor of Jolla and this all was just a way to circumvent the contracts made with Microsoft. Or am I too much of a conspiracy theorist?
Yes you are…..but I sure would like to see the same thing
Is it possible to buy shares in? Jolla Ltd?
PREPARE YOUR ASS MICROSHIT!!!!!!
Please Jolla give us a hardware refreshed N900 and not a watered down N9. And market it. Aggressively. This is all I ask.
