Jolla shows it’s upcoming Sailfish OS in video tour!
It must be one of the most anticipated OS launches in year 2013. Jolla told that they are going to launch first Sailfish OS operated smartphones in coming months. In this video (after the break), Jolla shows it’s Sailfish OS to Engadget. It’s already know that Sailfish builds on MeeGo quite effectively, and this video shows that there will be a lot appeal. As you know Sailfish will be gesture centric, and many native apps will respond to gesture commands even when those apps are presented as “cards” on the home screen. All the apps seems to be very responsive, and those apps you’ll see in this video are fairly representative in the final build of the Sailfish OS. Jolla won’t show us much in the video except contacts app, music app, photos and home screens.

Samsung reportedly launching Tizen-based phones on NTT DoCoMo in 2013!
NTT DoCoMo is partnering with Samsung to develop phones running the open-source Tizen operating system, according to report from from Japan’s Daily Yomiuri. First Tizen-based smartphone would be launched next year. According to the Yomiuri, other mobile phone carriers are also getting behind developing Tizen because they “fear” Apple’s and Google’s hegemony. Tizen operating system was first introduced back in September 2011, and came about when Nokia’s MeeGo OS was dumbed. Tizen’s main developers are Samsung and Intel, a major US semiconductor manufacturer. Also the development of apps for the new OS would be much more simpler.
