Today is Jolla Love Day - major announcement at 16:30 UTC

Via: @GeneralAntilles

Editor: Ryan Abel

Jolla will finally be revealing more concrete information about Sailfish and their first device. The announcement will be given at the Klauk K Hotel in Helsinki, Finland today (2013-05-20) at 16:30 UTC. The event, styled as #JollaLoveDay, has been teased by the Jolla marketing team with the hashtag #IAmTheOtherHalf for the past few days on Twitter (there's a video, too). An announcement sent to the press yesterday reads: We are super excited to welcome you to hear about Jolla’s next steps and get a sneak preview of what is yet to come.

A device announcement is expected, as Jolla employees have teased devices in a variety of colors. A link to the discussion thread and the livestream are at the bottom of this post.
