limpid Posted August 18, 2013 Administrator Share Posted August 18, 2013 Is anyone signed up / interested? http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge I've gone for the "backer with style". The OS is still too primitive for me to go for it yet, but I do love the built in desktop version for when you dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Interesting video. I don't quite understand what they're trying to do though? Are they seeking investment in order to develop the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 19, 2013 Author Administrator Share Posted August 19, 2013 Exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I signed up on the first day, I think it was $600 then. It was ridiculous to think so many people would pay full whack for a phone a year before getting it though. It's a niche product. $32,000,000 was ridiculously ambitious. I hoped if it got close enough Canonical would just throw in the rest of the cash themselves, but not even half with less than 3 days to go..

hogso Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Funding has ended, and it got to nearly $13mil, falling well short of the target. Was still the highest backed product ever on a fund raising site, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regular_john Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 So no chance of this happening then? Shame as it looked spectacular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
