Ubuntu Edge: An amazing first day and a NEW perk

Hi everyone

What an incredible 24 hours! At 4pm yesterday we introduced the Ubuntu Edge to the world, and we didn’t have to wait long to see the reaction. As the news coverage spread around the globe, that big green number just kept rising. And rising. And rising.

We hit $1 million in under five hours, and $2 million not long after that. We’ve now passed the 10% line, which shows just how much demand there is out there for the Edge’s radical new approach to mobile technology.

Thank you for all your support, both in backing the campaign and getting it out there for all to see - at one point yesterday our new baby was trending higher on Twitter than a certain royal one!

Today we’re adding a new perk: DOUBLE EDGE. As you can probably guess, this includes two Ubuntu Edge phones at the discounted rate of $1,400.

We’ll have plenty of updates over the coming weeks, taking you through the design and production of the Ubuntu Edge. To get us started, here’s a message from Canonical CEO Jane Silber.

We know there’s still a long way to go, which is why we really need your help throughout the whole month. Keep backing it, keep talking about it, keep posting about it, and help us make the Ubuntu Edge happen!

Thank you all

The Ubuntu Edge team
