A State-Of-The-Art Gadget: Ubuntu Edge,The $32 Million Innovative Device

Pursuitist Luxury Best Luxury Blog

Cutting-edge technology shapes our world and pushes our thinking forward. We are eager to explore, test, see beyond what’s given and we perceive technology as the ultimate form of evolution and power.

Ubuntu Edge is the next big thing in terms of technology and communication, an innovative device that combines smoothly a smartphone with the experience provided by a personal computer. “We’re fascinated by converged computing, the idea that the smartphone in your pocket can also be the brain of the PC on your desk. We’ve shaped Ubuntu so you can transition seamlessly between the two environments. Now all that’s needed is a phone that’s designed from the ground up to be a PC as well. The Ubuntu Edge is our very own superphone, a catalyst to drive the next generation of personal computing.”

The daring project was officially launched on indiegogo two days ago  and aims to raise $32 million over the next 30 days. If the company manages to raise this amount of money the first 40,000 devices will be produced sometime in May, 2014.

What we know so far (specs)

Ubuntu Edge is going to be massive (or at least that’s what the company states). Sporting a 4.5-inch, 1,280 x 720 display (made of sapphire crystal glass), an 8MP rear / 2MP front-facing camera and stereo speakers. Moreover, the revolutionary new gadget will boast a quad-core CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Do expect also a dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC, along with MHL support.Ubuntu-Edge-Ubuntu-Black Grey-Background-Ubuntu
