Re: Canonical branded phone?

 

+1

The same thought had crossed my mind. Touch seems to be reaching the point of maturity where something of the Edge's specs might come to fruition. It would be a winner, imho.

Are OEMs not queuing up to ship devices running Touch?

Question.......

I read all the comments, and I am now curious.....

What is to stop Canonical from releasing their own branded phones right now?? Just because the current 'offering' isn't Canonical branded, Is there anything that prevents them from selling a Canonical branded phone later on??

After all, now we know that a linux based phone actually works, what is to stop Canonical (or even myself) from seeking out an independent phone OEM, buying them in bulk and rebranding them, complete with the linux software already installed?

Great list all, I hope to see the linux phone succeed! It's about time we take back control of our own phones and block all the 'features' that rob us of our privacy!!

Hi

Did anyone from Canonical considered to 'simply' develop phone themselves alone, order it in factory and sell with Canonical brand?
