Does it finally have app sandboxing?

But still no trace of the upgrade to the Android layer...

Not yet. The first security point they tackled in this release is a built-in firewall.

Umm... The post specifically talks about this coming to the Xperia XA2 at the end of January and they've stated before that they'll make a decision on bringing that significant re-work of the whole thing after it's been released for the XA2.

I will be interested when this whole thing gets completely open sourced. Before that, there's no point in using this over Android IMO.

There is a chance greater than zero that the number of supported devices would increase if it was open with a healthy community. I don't really want the OS dictate me which phone I get ... and even then things don't work.

The crazy/evil license guarantees that I will never use Sailfish. It doesn't matter to me that it would never hold up in any court. It's not their business what books I read or what movies I watch or who I talk to and what I talk to them about. It's a license violation to display "inappropriate" information? If so, then in my opinion, simply displaying the license, will be a violation of that very license. That's not a good sign.

But it doesn't yet support my phone, with FM Radio, and I am still on this android sh*t..
Probably it will never will, and I will never get the chance to test it.. pity situation..

The worst part...I lost my bb10
