Canonical adds a $625 and $675 UbuntuEdge reward level
I don't quite get what's going on here. Is this an idea for a major commercial product or is it a quirky fun thing for the ubuntu community? The scale they're aiming for seems to imply the former.<p>Usable as a desktop is a cool idea, but  more of a "linux on your wristwatch" idea than one with real use.  I mean, if you have a keyboard & monitor handy, how hard is it to have a PC too? Cheap micro desktops are coming out all over the place. Cheap.<p>Am I missing the point entirely? Is this all about Ubuntu mobile itself with android & ubuntu desktop  as extras?<p>I hope this doesn't sound like hating. I actually want this to succeed. It's cool. Crowd funding a major player in the OS/mobile space is even cooler. Lots of potential spinoffs down the road (like the iOS laptop I've wanted to get my dad for years).   That said... Can anyone explain this to me? What are they trying to do here?
