Ubuntu Edge:A Super Phone

[latagaw_ko]

---

Who wants to get hold of a phone with these specs:

• Dual boot Ubuntu mobile OS and Android
• Fully integrated Ubuntu desktop PC when docked
• Fastest multi-core CPU, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage
• 4.5in 1,280 x 720 HD sapphire crystal display
• 8mp low-light rear camera, 2mp front camera
• Dual-LTE, dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4, NFC
• GPS, accelerometer, gyro, proximity sensor, compass, barometer
• Stereo speakers with HD audio, dual-mic recording, Active Noise Cancellation
• MHL connector, 3.5mm jack
• Silicon-anode Li-Ion battery
• 64 x 9 x 124mm

Specifications are subject to change.

Ubuntu is trying to built a new phone through crowd sourcing. You can get hold of this phone by supporting their campaign to get $32 million for them to build a phone. What you can do is to give them USD 800 plus USD30 for shipping ( around PHP 36000+) and you can get this limited edition phone by end May 2014. They are promising to put in the latest and greatest in hardware and if you don't really like the Ubuntu OS you can always use Android. Am sure developers will be all over this device and the support for software upgrade will be almost guaranteed.

Basically, Canonical is taking on the Nexus project of Google to the next level by being all out with specs and experimenting on the convergence of mobile with desktop. And with this, the possibility is endless. What I am thinking right now to run Android as my primary OS and use Ubuntu for Android (run Ubuntu on top of android via vmware). I can run Windows application through Wine Emulator. With 128 GB of storage, I can always have all my files on the go. Connect it with a dock, I will have my desktop interface ready to use.

I am hoping they get the USD32 million target by the 21st of August for them to manufacture this phone. By then, I will be one of the few who will be getting the phone touted as the "F1 of mobile"

You can now get the phone at a lower price of USD 630 plus USD 30 for shipping but you have to wait May 2014.


Mura ni ug HTC One ug price pero mas ngilngig ang specs. 128GB of storage, at least 4GB of ram, sapphire crystal display, rubberized back at least 2.3 Ghz cpu. This is a Super Phone...

with 4GB of RAM? lightweight ra man ang Ubuntu and with Ubuntu for Android using the existing user data on the phone, integration should not be problem. dagan ma man gani using Nexus 4 nga 2 GB ra ang RAM and 1.5 ghz ang processor: Ubuntu Edge: convergence in action - YouTube
