Well, but Jolla will probably use GStreamer, and thus provide a much better multimedia playback than the intentionally crippled Android (which requires 3rd party players for almost everything, even standardised h264 with MP3 in an MPEG4 container). If advertised, this might help selling devices.

I don't see why using a 3rd party player is a problem. It's only a couple of taps in the app store and one tap to set it as the default media player.
That said, I hink Jolla has better chance than Nokia had with MeeGo. Jolla operates in a startup culture where the sense of urgency is clear. Nokia operated in a complacent incumbent culture.
For an example of this culture remember Anssi Vanjoki comment in 2007 how there is a "5-step plan" to make maemo consumer friendly. "Yes Iphone has launched, lets not hurry, instead lets use 4 years and two steps till we launch N9..."
