#ubuntu edge

Canonical started their Ubuntu Edge campaign on Indiegogo 8 days ago and went off with a good start. As mentioned in our earlier article, the Ubuntu Edge campaign needs a total of $32 Million in funds in 30 days (July 22 - Aug 21). On average, it has to receive at least more than a million of pledges ($1.067 million to be exact) daily in order to keep things on track. Abe, aka Yuga, even made an Ubuntu Edge pledge last week. (I was told that if things go south, Canonical will do a refund.) On the bright side, the Edge project still have 22 days to go and a large window to improve. The Ubuntu Edge is an unlocked device that works in all countries with GSM/3G/LTE network services. For GSM, which covers a lot of countries but not all operators, the Edge will support the 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and 2100 MHz frequencies. The Edge will support LTE standard frequencies and multi-band support for roaming. Read more in our articles including "Ubuntu Edge: Campaign Update" and "Ubuntu phone to be released in October".
