Jolla Mobile: website launch and Sailfish OS sneak peek

I hope Sailfish implements the Swipe UI from N9. That was one of the best UI paradigms in recent years.

You and me both. I miss it whenever I use a phone that isn't my N9. It just seems so natural. The actual shape of the phone helped a lot though - I don't think it would work as well if the front was completely flat.

+1, but unfortunately Swype UI as it is belongs to Nokia. Maybe they'll do something similar, some swyping similar gestures can already be seen on those videos. Time will tell.

It seems they are doing something similar, but with vertical scrolling/swiping. Swipe up from notifications to get to running apps, swipe again to get to the full list of apps.

It does. As a nice addition, you can also control stuff within apps directly from the multitask grid.
