Hmm... not enough information other than speculation at this point. I may be willing to go with one, since I don't have a smartphone at this point anyway.
Nor do I. Nor do I want one.

I know what you mean, but if I do get one, I wouldn't want an iphone or android if I could get one from a company that lets people have a little more control.
And I'm probably going to need one eventually. I'm optimistic that perhaps their recent development changes might actually be good for something but we shall see.
I'm in the market for a new smartphone, but now I think I'll postpone until this baby hits the streets.
Just to clarify, the "product" is the mobile OS itself, not a specific phone, yet. They're trying to (probably already have) secure deals with manufacturers.
So, no phone-specs to salivate/foam at the mouth about yet.
I just hope it'll be offered on a broad selection of phones; and if that's not possible, give us the Formula 1 hardware, not the Ford T :)
The 20-minute video didn't really talk about how the mobile OS will integrate with an existing Ubuntu-installation, has that been dropped?
New thread now the anoucement has been made.
