Ubuntu Edge Is Up To $9 Million USD In Funding

sorry to sound blund, but what demands ? they on 1072 + 1 + 115 ubuntu edge phones sold now in a 1.75 billion units market in 2012

Actually the number of phones "sold" is somewhere around 12-15k I think. Still relatively insignificant by industry standards, but this is more of a proof of concept phone, not a phone that was designed for mass production.

I hope phone manufacturers are watching and hearing about Ubuntu Edge.

So even if it fails, the other companies listen to the demands.

i miss Nokia they use to make the best phones known to man that was a shame

Then you know why supporting Canonical is a bad thing for FLOSS.

Go RedHat! Go Debian! And I pray for SUSE to drop their ties with MS so I can use my fantastic openSUSE without shame.

Can you be any more idiotic or predictable in your response

The funny part is you somehow think an EVIL conspiracy is going on by hiring an x Microsoft employee. Rick Spencer values freedom and transparency and has actively advocated ubuntu to be more open and community driven.

OMG, Redhat and Novell have done the same thing, what a travesty!

The stupid it burns !!!!!!!

The sad part is how so many Ubuntu die hard fans do not let their eyes see what is actually going on at Canonical.

Why was Mir even started? Whoops, did that come out loud?

No need to wonder, just look to Nokia... One thing is for sure, you just cannot be too paranoid in this business.

i don't see it failing as Mark is good at PR buzzwords etc but Canonical did alienate a huge part of the FOSS community if not all of it
Microsoft likes to alienate as well Windows 7 was the only one out of the last 3 or 4 release that they did not Canonical has been alienating really bad lately and the funny part is the the guy who Canonical Hired is now the Head of the Ubuntu Project and is from Microsoft make's me wonder..

More x86 phones are probably on the way.
Intel is making their new Atom processor on the Silvermont architecture.

What makes you say that its purpose is to make FLOSS stagnate?

Redhat and Novell did not try to alienate the FOSS community Like Canonical is doing now (thats why we have openSUSE and Fedora and all the Projects they helped Develop)
hmm Canonical and Novell are full Microsoft Partner's so they bendover for Microsoft but rumor has it Novell and Microsoft are trying to get out of their partnership do to GPLv3 nice work "Richard Stallman" also Red Hat did not bendover for Microsoft Like Novell or Canonical did

Far as i know Rick Spencer is the one who started the Qt partnership Qt is freeware aka "proprietary"

Well the thing is, this kind of phone (the specs, price, etc) is clearly aimed at enthusiasts and developers, not the typical end-user. Because Canonical has alienated a sizeable part of the community with their shenanigans, they have limited their potential market - the end-users may not care, but the market Canonical is aiming at with this phone does. And that's why this crowdfunding is going to fail.
