If you ask what the real solution is: IMO, it's open-source software: 1. It has no interest in selling you any hardware 2. It is a lot more resource-friendly

- frank_boyd 13y agoWhat do you mean? Why except for FirefoxOS or Ubuntu? FirefoxOS runs on the cheapest phones ever. And even Ubuntu runs on a cheap Galaxy Nexus...
- mattlutze 13y agoLike Google, both Mozilla and Canonical have shown an interest in selling hardware. If the Ubuntu Edge campaign had gotten traction Canonical would absolutely have pushed forward and marketed that sucker hard. I would be surprised to not see another phone attempt from them in the next 18-24 months. FirefoxOS gets market traction if those phones sell, because the conversion rate of Android phone users to picking up FirefoxOS is going to be very small.
