I think they've done the right thing in catering to their existing base of enthusiastic developers. Trying to mass market it right now would just get them a bunch of bad reviews from consumer electronics sites that don't understand it and don't have the time to bother (to be fair, their readers are just more interested in the what color the next iPhone comes in). I think they've also done the smart thing in bringing it to countries where Android and iPhone have not already obliterated the whole market. That's a bummer for me though as I'm a US Ubuntu user and I'd love to buy one of their phones. (I know I can now, but 2G or wifi is not worth paying my monthly bill for). Last I heard they're working with a manufacturer to bring a different option to the US market. I'll be first in line to buy it and I'm excited about building whatever applications I find that I need on it that may not already be there. I think they could do well by really marketing to what they do and the others can't: no questionable agreements to sign, ability to choose what to do with your device that you bought and own, and nobody using your information. Sadly that's a small market, but it's probably large enough for them to keep the lights on.
