I think you are wrong on that front, I know normal people, who buy high end
devices, who don't have anything to do with Ubuntu and yet they are pretty
much interested in Ubuntu Edge, even they tell me of things about Ubuntu
Edge from different tech websites they visit. Ubuntu Edge from what I could
read is not something that's going to be on sale in the market to target a
certain class of people :)
