Dipped in Ubuntu
I think Ubuntu will still go mobile, just not with the Edge hardware. I honestly thought it was a pretty good deal, considering what other top-of-the-line phones go for without contracts. Anyway, I do like the idea of what Canonical is trying to do with Ubuntu in making it span multiple platforms. I'd really love to have just one device that does it all.

What next for Ubuntu? Why UDS, of course

I doubt very much if you will hear any talk of focusing back on the desktop at UDS. In fact what next for the desktop has already been decided. It is called Unity Next (renamed to Unity 8).

What next for Ubuntu is planned and discussed months and months in advance. The focus always has been and still is on the Ubuntu platform. By this time next year (or a little later) Ubuntu will be a distribution that can be installed on devices having different form factors and work as a mobile phone at the same time.
We need visionaries to answer the question, What next for Ubuntu 16.04? From now until 14.10 what next for Ubuntu has already been decided.

It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

No need to pick a "focus" desktop and mobile can contiune together untill the point mobiles can run the desktop.

Now that we have vUDS every three months, what's to stop you from putting a blueprint together for the next UDS in November?

Spilled the Beans
The Edge campaign was a fantastic marketing stunt by Canonical. The goal was almost impossible to reach but it gave the company media coverage and all kinds of attention.
One thought came to me. Although I am not a Linux expert, I recognize that ubuntu is pushing linux forward in terms of setting the new standards for the OS, with the implementation of Unity, services and new software technologies.
The other projects (distros not ubuntu based) don't seem to be evolving, just mending things and making small changes, perpetuating the "same" user experience, whereas in each Ubuntu release there is (almost) always something brand new, pushing forward our experience and our view of Linux.
Is my thinking accurate? What do you think?

Since we know that the development of the phone OS is still going to go forward, and the actual next thing will be saucy, I'll answer the generic thread title with

Don't mind me, I'm only passing through.
