Why is it difficult for the camera to crash tuedge?

UbuntuEdge is a dual-system mobile phone that is equipped with Android and Ubuntu, and more importantly, a super mobile device that wants to integrate mobile phones and PCs. Canonical, the company behind UbuntuEdge, has set a crowdfunding target of $32 million, but has only raised 1/4 of the funds currently. Why is it difficult for a device with a dreamy color? Looking back, what Canonical promises is that dual systems, coupled with the fastest multi-core processor, can be combined to drive the desktop OS, attractive? Of course. However

Ubuntu Edge is a dual-system mobile phone with Android and mobile Ubuntu. More importantly, it is a super mobile device that wants to integrate mobile phones and PCs. The company behind Ubuntu Edge, Canonical, has set a crowdfunding target of $32 million, but has only raised 1/4 of the funds so far. Why is it difficult for a device with a dreamy color?

Looking back, what Canonical promises is that dual systems, coupled with the fastest multi-core processor, can be combined to drive the desktop OS, attractive? Of course. However, if this is the case, why do you have to pay 800 US Dollars? There are no physical objects or any evaluations available for reference?

As of today's press release, the funds raised by Ubuntu Edge have not reached 8.6 million billion US dollars, and 14 days from the end of the project on August 21, the difference is nearly 3/4.

But as the largest funding in the history of crowdfunding-the last one was Pebble-we cannot assert what will happen in the end. A large number of successful projects often have a great sprint in the initiation and end stages, but considering that Ubuntu Edge has not yet reached 1/3, it is a miracle.

So what's wrong?

1. Ubuntu does not have such a large potential market

Linux shares about 1% of the global operating system market, while Ubuntu is a branch.

2. The target is too large.

$32 million USD, too short a month.

3. Fierce Competition

The fund-raising phase of Edge coincides with the release time of various major models. The audience is visible, the audience is also diverted, and the market is close to saturation.

4. configuration is too vague

"We will use the fastest multi-core processor in the market, with at least 4 GB memory and GB storage ." There are too many uncertainties here, and Canonical has not even selected a device vendor.

5. Delivery Time

In May 2014, this node was too far away for a mobile phone. Of course, they need such time to carefully prepare, but how can consumers wait?

6. Wait and see

If such a device is successfully launched, it will be available on the market at a later time. On the contrary, this will not waste my energy.

Finally, there is another bad news: "If we do not reach the fundraising goal at the end, there will be no Ubuntu Edge ." Said Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical.
