Anonymous, 30 Jul 2013Wondering if this phone can run more than 9 apps, picture q... moreThe device isn't released and most of the hardware is unknown! How do you want anyone to review it yet?
Anyway - what we do know of what you asked. It theoretically can run more than 9 apps, we're talking Linux here. Whether the number of graphical apps is restricted due to the active covers is another thing entirely, but it would seem strange if Jolla took this approach. They might alternatively use more than one screen of covers, or only show covers for 9 apps while running more in the background.
The OS is indeed pretty resource efficient. Jolla's first demos showed Sailfish running well on the Nokia N950, using a single-core Cortex-A8.
It's likely to support media formats which gstreamer can (i.e. loads!), as with the N9. However, due to the improved chipset, it shouldn't have the N9's problem with HD content.
Info Jolla have teased so far on the Other Half suggests there are direct data and power connections, though what standards these follow (if any) are unknown. If this is correct, both a hardware keyboard or external flash are possible. However, this is entirely reliant on halves being produced for these purposes.
Not sure quite what you mean by a 'lock key', but the power button does lock the device as in many phones.

Wondering if this phone can run more than 9 apps, picture quality of the device, how powerful will be the flash, if there will be some recovery option in case if you do something wrong that'd corrupt the OS, support for different keyboards, if apps can be installed from third party sites, the other half will be a qwerty keyboard or a powerful flash, how powerful the battery would be, if the OS is resource efficient, if native video call would be possible, if there will be Nokia Maps or not, how many features it will have, if it will be a 720p or 1080p screen, if the device can play all major media formats, if there will be a lock key. Give it an in depth review come on.

"Can it run more then X apps?"
It's full multitasking Linux, unless any application decides to somehow 'eat' all the memory you can run however many you want/need.
There is no reason to believe the limit on multitaksing in jolla is not memory bound just like any other OS, the interface on the homescreen may or may not support only showing 9 applications simultaniously but if that is the case there will surely be a way of handling more applications, you can probably even try out how that is handled in the SailfishOS SDK.
Even the n900 (this devices' grandfather) can run quite a few applications simultaniously, this is a video of the n900 being pushed pretty far:

For the "radio", will it have an FM transmitter? That's really missing from most new phones but it is why I keep my N8 in my pocket!

For all of you who wonder if it can run more than 9 apps, it can. In some preview video it is quickly shown that if you do long press on any active app, you get a vertically scrollable list of all the open apps. Here you can also close those apps.
BTW, got my Jolla t-shirt today, says "I AM THE FIRST ONE" with red/white Jolla-style letters. Eagerly waiting for the launch of the device.

Thanks dude for answering how multitasking is done on MeeGo OS. I am waiting for this phone and i won't buy any high end Android phones ever because Android has many malwares, it's not resource efficient like Symbian is, since there are NSA codes written in Android OS it spy on user, Google does the same thing. What i really hope is, something like NSA stays away from this OS and Sailfish OS provide the best multitasking out of them all like MeeGo OS can. Over 100 apps at time! That'd be great.
