The company has built its own operating system Sailfish which will provide users alternative to Android, Windows, Blackberry and Apple's iOS.
Jolla founders moved out of Nokia after the company, then led by Stephen Elop, decided to dump 'Meego' operating system and instead adopt the Windows platform.
Its Sailfish OS is compatible with devices on which Android OS works. Jolla has started providing Sailfish OS through Android playstore on select devices like Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus and Sony Xperia, for people to experience this new platform.
