I wonder how the name is pronounced.
My first language is Brazilian Portuguese, but I tend to read it in Spanish because of the double "L". But that in turn would make it sound like the Portuguese version of "cork", like a bottle cork.
- sharpneli 13y ago"Yol-la" probably confers the intended spelling in English. The word Jolla is Finnish and means a small boat. It's a reference to the famous burning platform memo. P.S. I was one of the 450 guys who got their phone today. Got it literally 20 minutes ago.

- sharpneli 13y agoI cannot. They didn't really speak about it. However my first impressions as a developer: It is a breath of fresh air that instead of fiddling with AndroidSDK and having to deploy an apk my first test of their toolchain was simple compilation -> scp the binary into the phone and run it in dev mode terminal (or via ssh from a desktop). They naturally have a full fledged packaging system like apk but the point is that it's not forced upon us. My phone is now basically (just like N900 was) just a Linux running on arm platform, with fancy UI for consumer usage on top.
- wildwood 13y agoI suspect that people in southern California would share your confusion about the pronunciation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Jolla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Jolla
