I think ubuntu's marketing people are targeting the wrong segment. Yes, ubuntu
edge seems to be innovative, but it's not enough for the high end market. With
poor branding in mobile and pc desktop market, normal high end people would not
notice the highlight of ubuntu edge, except for us, the ubuntu touch fans.
But convergence pc should be very attractive to those without pc/laptop but
looking forward to enjoy the fun of pc. So ubuntu's marketing segment should
shift to the young people without pc. China is a good place to start, just like
Jolla/Sailfish.

I agree that the merch will cost money and maybe I am being a bit optimistic on
how many would get sold for what price. But I personally think the cost of the
merch is minimal when you have reached the final $32mill goal and it's
something that Canonical can fund. Maybe I am being idealistic but I feel that
*some* of the options should have been considered and the marketing approached
from a different angle and more agressively. Canonical could have done more and
what they have done so far was too little too late.
Either way I wish the project my best, I want it to happen and have done
everything I can do make it happen.
Lets see how it goes.

people want that phone.

They can't just lower the specs, because then they won't be delivering the

THANK YOU. If canonical were to announce a drop in specs, I'd pretty much
immediately take my $600 back and then spend just $300 on the Nexus 4, since
that already exists, and already has mid-level specs. I pledged my $600
specifically because I *want* a desktop in my pocket.
