Will the second chance be opened up to diffrent markets like USA as you guys know many of us are still using 3 yr old hardware aka the nokia n9 and are chomping at the bit to upgrade our phones but ill continue to use the n9 till I can get a jolla as no other phone can suit my workflow like meego and soon to be sailfish canJames h jackson jr at 2013-08-21T16:35:10Z

I stood in expectation of more element about others halves.
What about a keyboard?
Forget the keyboard other-half, what about a gaming controller other-half? ;D

I just donated $50 to the Ubuntu Edge crowdfunding project on IndieGoGo.
I want to see this project succeed; I think it's important to have a Free Software touchscreen device available.James h jackson jr, RiveraValdez, Funatiker, Xavier G. and 4 others likes this.

hoping the actual phone will be affordable.....
missed out on that much-desired N9 a couple of years ago because I could not afford $800+
Canonical is behaving quite strange nowadays, I prefer Jolla. They are much more sympathetic and use standard technologx like Wayland and Qt5. http://jolla.com/
@schmittlauch Unfortunately Jolla will have a fully proprietary UX layer :-(
i donated too but i am going to get a jolla phone i did the jolla tshirt package highest they allowed in usa like jollas swipe ui and pulley system and simplicity of the osEvan Prodromou at 2013-08-12T19:23:01Z
I do wish that Open Source companies were looking farther ahead than the current crop of devices, though.
It's pretty clear that we're leaving the mobile-social-local era, and heading into a new one. The previous era was defined by the confluence of sensor-enabled touchscreen devices and social network services.
I don't know what this new era is all about, but my guess is that wearable devices -- think Google Glass or the iWatch -- will play an important role. I think it's the next step in human augmentation - putting information closer to your everyday line of vision.
And we, the Free and Open Source software community, don't yet have a horse in that race.
I think the millions of dollars going into cloning the last era of devices would be better spent seizing the high ground on a next generation device.
And I think that Free and Open Source companies and the community are going to have to work together to make it happen. We can't split the potential early-adopter market three or four ways.James h jackson jr, Evan Prodromou, Peter Guhl, Tyng-Ruey Chuang and 9 others likes this.

Show all 19 replies@michaelmd that seems like a good reason to start looking at next-generation hardware and software before there's mass usage.By "cloning the last era of devices" I specifically mean making touchscreen phones and tablets.
Is this kind of personal analytics more what you have in mind? http://frankrousseau.github.io/kyou/latchkeyed at 2013-08-14T14:36:11Z

Hey friends, Jonathan Nadeau is doing great things with free software accessibility, but needs a small amount of cash to turn his project into a real 501c3 non-profit.
