The Ubuntu Edge project aims toprovide a low-volume, high-technology platform, crowdfunded by enthusiasts and mobile computing professionals.A pioneering project that accelerates the adoption of new technologies and drives them down into the mainstream.This beautifully crafted smartphone is a proving ground for the most advanced mobile technologies on the horizon, a showpiece for true mobile innovation. And at the heart of it all is convergence connect to any monitor and this Ubuntu phone transforms into an Ubuntu PC, with a fully integrated desktop OS and shared access to all files. Crafted from cool, textured amorphous metal, the Edge has a distinctive, precise look but its rakishly chamfered edges are shaped to fit naturally in the palm -- our design prototype already has a wonderfully solid feel. Itrsquos the right size, too. Edge gestures are the next big thing in mobile, and our testing has found that a 4.5in screen is ideal for comfortable control of all four edges with one hand. Beyond 300ppi yoursquore adding overhead rather than improving display clarity. We think colour, brightness and dynamic range are now the edge of invention so wersquoll choose a display for its balance of resolution, dynamic range and colour accuracy. That gorgeous display will be protected with something vastly tougher than glass pure sapphire crystal, a material so hard only diamond could scratch it. For a phone to run a full desktop OS, it must have the raw power of a PC. Wersquoll choose the fastest available multi-core processor, at least 4GB of RAM and a massive 128GB of storage. The battery will use silicon-anode technology, so we can squeeze more energy into the same dimensions. You can use the desktop wherever you can find a standard HDMI screen, and the dual-LTE chip will get you online with 4G even when yoursquore travelling abroad. Itrsquos desktop computing gone truly mobile.The Ubuntu Edge will dual-boot both the Ubuntu phone OS and Android, and convert into a fully integrated Ubuntu desktop PC.
