The Ubuntu Edge is a very ambitious smartphone that'll be capable of running a full-fledged Ubuntu desktop operating system alongside Android. While specs are currently tentative, the company is aiming to outfit the Edge with a quad-core CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Meanwhile, the phone itself will sport a 4.5-inch, 1,280 x 720 display that's constructed of sapphire crystal glass, an 8MP rear / 2MP front-facing camera and stereo speakers. As for connectivity, Canonical's eyeing LTE, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC, along with MHL support.

RIP PCs :tongue:

LOL. They are using crowd sourcing for funding. Good luck to Canonical.

Hope this won't turn out to be another 'Notion Ink Adam' :tongue:

Price is actually quite good. I would have invested if I was making good money these days. Also next year is a too long wait. That amplifies the problem. I have seen a bunch of people who have invested in this project. Of course, it is easier for a US based journalist to invest USD 600 in a device that should still be quite modern next year.

Crossed $1 million already. :O

Would be hard if it doesn't cover a few millions this week. Things get slow after that.
