Ubuntu Edge: Explained!

23 Comments

Announced by Canonical Ltd. on 22 July 2013, Ubuntu Edge was a proposed “high concept” smartphone. Through, Indiegogo. Canonical sought to crowdfund a production run of approximately 40,000 units through Indiegogo. It had the highest target of any crowdfunded project to date, $32,000,000 over a one-month campaign. The Edge was not intended to go into mass production after the initial run, but rather to serve as a demonstration for new technologies for the industry. The Edge fell short of its funding goal, raising only $12,809,906, with 5682 pledges to purchase the standard model of the handset.

The Edge was designed as a hybrid device, which would function as a high-end smartphone (with both Ubuntu Touch and Android), or—when used with a monitor, keyboard and mouse—be able to operate as a conventional desktop PC running Ubuntu. The Ubuntu Edge was also designed to support dual boot, and was to run along with Android.

First Ever Open Source Gaming Console – OUYA

The cutthroat console market has been dominated by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft for years now. We saw popular consoles fizzle out and die… || Join the chat: bit.ly || .. and the big companies make it really difficult for small developers to make games. So what is the answer? Kickstarter to the rescue! In this week’s GeekBuzz I talk about Ouya, a new gaming console that is based on the open-source Android operating system. Its Kickstarter campaign has raised almost .5 million dollars in under two days, with almost 25000 consoles already sold! Its goal is to provide a platform for indie & open development, with games that are free to play or at least free to try, and have the console itself cost less than 0. Can the Ouya compete with the PS3, XBox360, Wii or WiiU? Check out the video for more info! OUYA’s Website – www.kickstarter.com || Free Gamefly Trial for watching! gamefly.com
