Jolla's upcoming operating system, dubbed Sailfish, is one of the few new developments that the nerds among us are really excited about. Engadget recently got their hands on a device running the OS, and have released a video detailing the operating system and all its gesture-based goodness.As it was revealed earlier this year, gestures seem to be the main focus of the interface. This can be seen in the lack of a 'back' button, which  is usually prevalent in many other phones. Going back is accomplished by swiping from left to right. Another example of the focus on gestures can be seen in the "pulley" menu system, which automatically selects items based on how far down you drag the screen. Information like battery and signal strength is also always a swipe away. While this gesture-based navigation may take some getting used to, Jolla's Sailfish OS is clearly something to look forward to, and may redefine a mobile OS.
