Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ubuntu Edge (the Ubuntu handset)

It's going to use ARM. That's not in question, I'm pretty sure. Even if it were running Intel, none of the Intel chips for smartphones would be powerful enough to do anything with a Steam game. ARM is far more common, and it is well proven in the market. Intel, not as much, so I believe with certai

Cool. Also, I wrote a Python script for my personal use, to watch the amount of funding that the Ubuntu Edge has received! http://pastebin.com/TJ1Hvktw Every 30 seconds, it checks to see what the current level of funding is. I'll probably extend that to 2 or 3 minutes as the amount of funding slow

Yep, but it seems like the hill is leveling out to me. A year ago, we didn't have Steam, or a myriad of 3D engines (like Unity3D) pledging to come to Ubuntu. Porting that stuff to Ubuntu touch should be relatively straightforward, if they choose to do so. It has always been an uphill battle, but so

I don't really see any other options that they could pick besides the Snapdragon 800, but they seem to have left their options open in case something else crops up. I'd like to know what kind of processor it is too, but they're being rather coy about that, so I imagine they won't say just yet. On
