This is not a terrible idea, but it feels like a hugely niche product. Motorola has tried this already with the Atrix and it has yet to take off. Maybe Ubuntu will fix that, but I am not so sure. If this is a good phone experience and a crappy PC experience, nobody is going to care. This needs to be both a great phone and a great PC. Otherwise it's just a phone. Also, why is this not using Kickstarter? It seems like Kickstarter is "the place" to raise money for something like this, so it's likely that it won't raise as much money as it could just because of the site they're using.

Flexible Funding campaign This campaign will receive all of the funds contributed by Sat Nov 10 at 11:59PM PT. Also, Kickstarter seems to work best when you offer the actual product as a perk. I don't believe that there is even a remote possibility of this being more than a vaporware. Even if they get to their goal. The amount of money isn't enough for producing a smartphone in today's situation(patents & all that jazz).
