Crowdfunding an Ubuntu smartphone (right now)

[Kyle Smith]

I'm interested in it purely as a mobile computer that you can dock in
multiple locations but still access on-the-go.  I don't use my phone either.

While I agree that Unity isn't my favorite UI, it's not a bad UI for
getting people up to speed quickly, and the phone UI looks decent, as far
as phone UIs go.

All this, of course, is because I'm trying to justify spending $830 a year
before I'll see anything for it, if at all...
