Ask HN: How can we make the ubuntu edge campaign achieve its target?

6 点作者 nikhildaga将近 12 年前
With only 66 hours left and 20+ million to be raised, can we somehow make the campaign achieve the target?

Nope. And why would you want to? Even if they deliver on time (which is highly unlikely) there will be comparable phones available. Other phone companies will have seen the campaign and will be aiming to produce competing handsets.<p>So all you&#x27;re paying for is exclusivity, which is incredibly shallow.<p>Technology should be open and equally available to as many as possible. Not an elite hipster club.<p>EDIT: I just noticed the incredible irony of Canonical making an exclusive platform, wow. Monetise your product with a physical handset sure, great. We understand you need to earn a living off Ubuntu somehow. But don&#x27;t completely reverse your company philosophy to do it.

I don&#x27;t think its going to happen, just too much money in too little time. I think if they really believed in their cause they would have created the phone and just started selling it. Relying on people to pay a large amount of money for a phone they can&#x27;t have RIGHT NOW seems pretty much set to fail.

I&#x27;m not a genius but I think the answer to your question is a simple, &quot;contribute $21M&quot;.

I think the best thing you can to support open source phones do is to get a Firefox OS device. Edge is a nice gimmick, but will likely be a dud, even if its funding goes through.
