Another gadget: Ubuntu Edge

[tingo]

For all you fellow gadget addicts: Ubuntu Edge. Quite a lot of money for a "possible" gadget, but still...

I believe that the trolltech developer phone was cheaper.

Maybe the phone companies need convincing before they will make Ubuntu phones? Nothing is more convincing than showing it can be done...

They don't want to be in the phone business, they want to be in the phone operating system business.

I think I want a dozen or so.

Still hoping for a FreeBSD phone

I like the idea for the screen. One of the biggest problems I have with phones (or so kids picking up my phone) is the screen getting mangled before upgrade time comes along. It looks pretty cool, but I will probably step back and get one when they've been out a while and are a lot cheaper...

@Goobie, you would be wise to note this on the Ubuntu Edge page then: "Exclusive to Indiegogo backers. The Edge will NOT be available to buy at launch.".

There are still 6 days left...

That looks pretty good. Sounds like a PowerPi. I saw that they are taking pre-orders, but it doesn't say how much they are.
