Ubuntu sets crowdfund pledge record for Edge smartphone
A crowdfunding campaign for the Ubuntu Edge smartphone has set a record for raising more money in pledges than any other such venture.
The London-based developer, Canonical, has generated $10,288,472 (about £6.6m) in pledges, passing the record set by Pebble smartwatches last year.
But with six days of its campaign left the company is far from reaching its funding goal of $32m.
Canonical would have to return all the money if it does not reach the target.
The developer had said that if its campaign on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website was successful, it would aim to deliver 40,000 handsets to qualifying backers by next May.
'Bringing the future forward'
In an interview with the BBC, Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth said public interest in the Ubuntu Edge smartphone was high.
"The campaign has sparked a level of interest that has surprised even us," he said, adding that it had seized the attention not only of phone enthusiasts but innovators and futurists as well as manufacturers.
He added that some large manufacturers had come "out of the woodwork" to discuss the device with him.
ubuntuのスマートホン開発へのベンチャー投資は過去最高の額を集めたという。
ロンドンのCanonicalは１０００万ドルもの資金を集めた。
というのだが、まだ６日残っているとはいえ、３千２百万ドルの資金を集めるのが目標であり、到達しない場合は返金されるという仕組み。
その意味では、程遠い額しか集まっていないといえる。
