Canonical will still come out on top, even if the project fails

The Ubuntu Edge project has just entered its last 24 hours and it seems that Canonical will not be able to raise the necessary funds.

Ubuntu Edge might be a dud, but most of the Linux community agrees that Canonical might still be a winner, even without launching the phone.

A lot of major companies are now aware of the pull that Canonical commands in the community and people have heard the cry of the phone users who want a powerful device that is capable of working as a PC.

It's unsure what's going to happen after the Ubuntu Edge campaign is over, but my feeling is that we'll be hearing about this phone and about Ubuntu for Android for a long time.

Ubuntu Edge is a phone developed by Canonical that features some interesting hardware specifications. More details about the price and the campaign can be found in our initial report.
