Finnish smartphone manufacturer Jolla is now planning to produce its own tablet device.

The Jolla Tablet is being offered via crowd-funding site Indiegogo, with shipments anticipated in the second quarter of 2015.

Finnish company Jolla has started shipping the first smartphones that run the open-source Sailfish operating system.

The company was created by a group of former Nokia employees, with Sailfish using elements of Nokia’s old MeeGo platform.

We start this week's podcast by talking about Yahoo and Tumblr before moving on to discuss Google's recent developer conference.

There are product announcements from BlackBerry, HP and the former MeeGo developers at Jolla... and there's some interesting mobile app news as well.

Finnish smartphone company Jolla has started taking pre-orders of its first device.

Its phone, which runs the Sailfish OS and has a 4.5-inch display, is currently priced at €399 (£337) plus shipping. Full details aren’t known but it’ll run a dual-core chip and will support 4G.

Finnish company Jolla, which launched in July with plans to release a smartphone with a user interface based on the MeeGo platform, has demonstrated its user interface and the ‘Sailfish’ OS at the Slush start-up conference in Helsinki.

In addition it’s announced a forthcoming software development kit for Sailfish.

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?

This panel discussion about new mobile operating systems was recorded at Mobile Monday London on 15th July 2013.
