Re: [id-android] OOT : Canonical Launch $32 Million Ubuntu Phone Crowdfunding Campaign | OMG! Ubuntu!

Maksudnya "ngemis sumbangan" itu kayak gimana ya?
Kalau aku lihat kok skema fundingnya sama saja dengan startup yang umumnya?

Di amrik, gak sedikit perusahaan start up yg gak punya duit banyak tapi bisa bikin produk tanpa harus "minta sumbangan" model si Canonical ini.

Don't get me wrong, di 2012, saya pernah taruh harapan besar utk Canonical. Saya berharap mereka bisa mengalahkan popularitas android dan jadi rival android terkuat.
Krn android sendiri free license nya kan sepertinya jabis di 2015 besok (CMIIW), jadi android nantinya mungkin akan dibuat berbayar oleh google. Jadi, dari jauh hari harus ada yg bisa jd pesaing berat android, kebetulan UBuntu kan "sepupu kandung"-nya android scr teknis. Kalo android bisa dikembangkan sampe spt skrg, scr teknis harusnya UBuntu juga bisa.

Ternyata Canonical malah "ngemis sumbangan" kya gini, drop banget deh jadinya mereka bagi saya. Dgn cara spt ini, buat saya, UBuntu bakalan sulit berkembang spt android.
Krn google bikin cara pemasaran yg beda dan sangat diluar "pakem" marketing yg ada saat itu, menunjukan tingkat kreativitas google.
Klo canonical dari awal aja gak bisa kreatif cari modal utk bikin produknya masuk pasar, gimana mereka bisa bikin produknya diterima luas di pasar?

Apalagi, akhir tahun ini bakalan mulai era wearable devices, dimana nantinya smartphone bukan lagi sekedar smartphone atau cuma sekedar jadi pc replacement saja, tapi sudah jadi semacam personal server buat olah input/ output dari dan/ke wearable devices.

Canonical malah dengan pede nya memasarkan pc replacement doang.

Sedihnya.

*IMO, lho. :)

Speknya tinggi bgt. Ada yg tertarik utk nyumbang?

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/07/ubuntu-edge-indiegogo-campaign-for-ubuntu-touch-super-phone

Canonical are hoping to kickstart the super-phone race with an audacious $32 million crowd-funding campaign.

Ubuntu's commercial sponsor are aiming to raise funds for the development and manufacture of a new, Ubuntu-branded mobile called Ubuntu Edge over the next 30 days.

Ubuntu Edge will be more than 'just' a smartphone – it'll be a 'super-phone', powerful enough to double-up as a traditional PC when attached to an external monitor. This, Canonical say, will make it 'the world's first truly converged' device.

But first $32 million needs to be raised over the next 30 days. If this goal is met Ubuntu Edge handsets will be produced in a limited production run of 40,000 and made available in May 2014.
Ubuntu Edge Specifications

Ubuntu Edge won't be any ol' run-of-the-mill mobile. Canonical are crafting a communication device that's couture; they want to out-Apple Apple.

The tentative specifications for it features high-end components, some rarely used in consumer mobiles.
'Multi-core CPU'
4GB RAM
128GB SSD
4.5″ Sapphire Crystal screen (1280×720 HD resolution)
Dual cameras (8mp rear, 2mp front)
MHL connector (supporting HDMI)
Long-life silicon anode battery
Dual-LTE, NFC, Dual-band WiFi & Bluetooth 4
GPS, Barometer, Compass, Proximity Sensor, Gyro, etc

OS wise Ubuntu Edge, perhaps most surprisingly, will dual-boot Ubuntu Touch and Android. When docked it will be able to power a full Ubuntu desktop experience on an external monitor.

Biggest Campaign Ever

'[We Need to] smash every record in crowdfunding history' – Mark Shuttleworth

The project, live on IndieGoGo, is the single-largest crowd-funding campaign in history.

$32 million is a big ask; is it really achievable?

Chances are good. Canonical need just 40,000 backers to "pre-buy" a handset for $810 to meet their goal.

Even if the campaign fails to rich its goal it could still prove helpful by demonstrating demand. If this high enough it could buoy the interest of more cautious telecom carriers and handset makers.

Mark Shuttleworth concludes that inorder to make their converged future of mobile happen they'll need to  "…smash every record in crowdfunding history.

"But if there are enough enthusiasts who want the ultimate in performance, storage, screen, battery and bandwidth, Ubuntu Edge will be the catalyst for awesome innovation, and a taste of the future of the phone."

Will you be donating?
