Originally posted by akincer View PostI'm not doubting that the vast majority of "tech enthusiasts" that are likely to back it have already done so. I'm suggesting that despite the original target audience, there are lots of people that are somewhat tech enthusiasts that aren't plugged in reading about tech on a regular basis which WOULD be inclined to buy one.
I mean one could argue that the S4 is almost a tech enthusiast phone and it hasn't had any trouble selling.

Originally posted by akincer View PostOh it most definitely would require lots of big players jumping in and buying LOTS of phones. There's been hints that Canonical has been in talks with just such folks. They've made it clear whomever these players are will not close a $20 million gap, but haven't said how much money those folks are willing to go in for.
That is despite the fact that so far a grand total of 1 enterprise bundle has been purchased.

Originally posted by akincer View PostThere's another enterprise bundle that has no limit on perks. Presumably, any entities going in REALLY big would grab a large number of those.

Originally posted by blackout23 View PostAny why should someone invest REALLY big into a failed campaign? If anything investors have got the notion that people simply don't want this phone enough. Investors aren't stupid and toss a few millions here and there for shits and giggles.
