There's no need to be pointlessly snarky. Nobody has any idea how many units of the Ubuntu edge will "sell", because it's not for sale yet. It's ridiculous to consider an $800 commitment to back a product which will exist a year from now at best a "sale".
- DannyBee 13y agoThis was not a comment on ubuntu edge per-se, only the likelihood of it actually having free drivers at launch if they are only kickstarting 45k units. The same thing would be true if it sold a million units.
- zanny 13y agoThis implies a dramatic lack of competition in the SoC market if you can't shop around and find a vendor that will at least provide release images to flash devices with openly, if not actual open specification devices with FOSS drivers.
- voltagex_ 13y agoThere is a dramatic lack of competition. We find ourselves in the odd position of hoping Intel will come in and shake up the market.
