I'll believe it when I hold a real, manufactured Ubuntu touch phone
So, being relegated to 'parasitic' aftermarket, DIY, post-loading onto already sold hardware (and other vendor's driver infrastructure) is "a pretty big milestone". Oh Canonical, I'll give you an A for optimism, but where is your announcement of an actual product, made by a hardware manufacturer, who will support your Mir natively with their drivers?
Firefox OS is already out there in stores on dedicated hardware, Jolla is shipping hardware at the end of the month (Wayland powered ironically). So far the big C. only managed to bring us the PR bust called Edge. There was an edge all right, but their vaporware superphone fell right off it.
When are we going to see your converged devices for real? Even your red headed offshoot Mint has Mint branded hardware out there with the Mint box. (No, the Dell Sputnik doesn't count. Ubuntu is Linux for human beings right? Not Linux for the chosen few, with pricing starting well above the $ 1000 mark.)
